Context (Amendments / updates)
'These stones were found in a box titled 'Misc. Tibet Box 3'. It has not been ascertained as to why they were located to this box, but it is thought that they were probably a shrine/temple offering. Thus, the reference to Tibet has been kept in the place field, until further identification can be determined'.
