Context (Other owners)
This object is part of a larger loan of Palaeolithic material from the French Government to the Museum, arranged in 1919 between Dr Reinach and Miles Burkitt for use as a teaching collection (see Loan File). Most of the objects are marked with the Musée des Antiquités Nationales (MAN)’s distinctive red number. They were accessioned in 1978 with Z numbers, but remain on loan from MAN.
