Catalogue card for Z 14024: 'Basket, round, flat, with lid, for keeping fish, pepper and ogili in. [In a different hand:] NB there are two baskets with this number. One is of lighter brown basketry in which the horizontal cane is in broad strip, with broad vertical lines but thin lashings. This is probably the correct basket [Z 14024.1-2 as of 01/10/2021]. but another, which is small, dark and without a lid is more closely made [Z 14024.3 as of 01/10/2021].'
