Context (Amendments / updates)
This object was found unnumbered with 1938.960 by Jean Sommerville in 2003, and she suggested they might a part of the same. 1938.960 is illustrated in Petrie 1934 and the object labelled with this number appears to be complete. This object has therefore been assigned a TEMP. number.
