Context (Other)
The toggle-pin (TEMP.02817) was on display in the archaeology gallery, Clarke Gallery, 1984-2010 as Z 39500, a toggle pin from Auvernier, Switzerland. However, it does not match the length or description of that idno, but does match the description and dimensions of Z 23974 (see Foster catalogue p. 28, no. 8).
