Context (Analysis)
On Tuesday 15th January 2019 Dr Kate Spence studied this object and confirmed this object is not a fake and that due to its shape it is a saucer rather than a lid - it does not have a flat top which you would expect from a lid. The Period field has therefore been amended from 'modern' to reflect the Hatshepsut reign date and the Name field has had the 'Fake' and 'Lid' references removed.
