Handwritten label affixed to one of the strings of beads by string, reads: '522 18 d.' on both sides. Loose handwritten label reads: '2232'. Another loose handwritten label reads: '280 i. 18 d. mins col'. When this object entered the museum, there was no collector information, however these labels are from the Philip Whiteway collection and so he has been added to the Source field. Note on envelope found with 2007.137 A-C reads: '280, 522, 525, 526, string of beads, odd assortment of beads & [illegible] rings mostly faience'.
