Context (Amendments / updates)
Two sashes labelled 1947.203 were found packed in the same box. One had a historical label pinned to it with information matching the catalogue card. It is woven with red dog hair and is the original 1947.203. The other was incorrectly labelled at an unknown date and has now been assigned a temp number, TEMP.02885.
