Context (Found together / assemblage)
Eight apparently unaccessioned crotal bells (TEMP.00679-TEMP.00684.1-2) were found together in the museum store. Four of them (TEMP.00683.1-2 and TEMP.00684.1-2) have remains of old object labels, although they may not be museum object labels. Some or all of them may have been accessioned and become disassociated with their museum number, or they may never have been formally accessioned into the museum's collection.
