Context (Amendments / updates)
'This pottery fragment was found in a box titled 'Misc. Tibet Box 3'. It has not been ascertained as to why it was located to this box, but it is thought that it has broken away from a larger Tibetan/Indian figure. Thus, the reference to Tibet has been kept in the place field, until further identification can be determined'.
