Context (Amendments / updates)
In October 2012, Ray M.K. Ma, Assistant Curator, Antiquities & Monuments Office, Hong Kong examined these objects and tentatively identified them as Bronze Age in date. The Period field has been updated accordingly, as previously there was no period given. He also believes that 'stemmed cup' would be a more appropriate description of B, which has been added to the Description field.
