Context (Amendments / updates)
'Identified as eight ducks by T. Chung (29/06/2015) due to script on the box in which all eight are contained, which reads, roughly: 'Treasury ducks in a golden dish/bowl'. Since numbered E 1902.412.1-9 to include all eight ducks and the box itself. The box reads E 1902.412.413 but E 1902.413 is a different object. The Accession Register does not provide any further details'.
