Context (CMS Context)
'The records for 1894.108 and 1896.154 do not match the objects marked with this idno. However, 1927.677 D may be the original record since these beads have not been found and the record matches the objects, which were in a box with the other beads from the 1927.677 group. J.Somerville 3/4/2001.'
