Context (Amendments / updates)
This fragment might be the piece originally accessioned as 1951.446 E; its current frame does not bear any markings or labels, yet there are traces of blue tape remaining on the glass, which look similar to the blue tape wrapped around the frames of 1951.446 A-D. It might have been removed from its original glass frame to allow a portion to be taken out for display, possibly TEMP.02804.
