Context (Amendments / updates)
West Asia has been added as a possible place of collection due to visual similarities with beaded pendants Z 45351 A-B which are from Palestine. These also have rolled paper cylinders contained within netted glass seed beads. Z 45351 A-B have been suggested as possible charms due to similarities with objects which contain writing from the Quran (1927.387, 1927.388 and Z 16675), so Magic & Religion has also been added to the Keywords.
