Context (Acquisition Details)
(bio) Lord Revelstoke.
All of Z 40351 A-K were found inside bowl 1930.1176 (from Oaxaca), (with 1956.124 from Guyana), which implies they might be Gadow collection given by Lord Revelstoke, especially as they seem like Oaxaca material. It would be useful to examine this again---MHH
