Context (Amendments / updates)
'The 'ID No' for this record was assigned to another prayer wheel (1937.460) during the Buddha's Word project by Alison McKeating. However, another prayer wheel was already assigned the number 1937.460, so a new record was created with the 'ID No' Z 20399 B, to alleviate any confusion.' Ashleigh Griffin | 16/01/2019
