Context (Analysis)
Unknown hand added the following in pencil to the catalogue card: 'see Z 43432'. Upon visual inspection, the two sherds marked Z 43432 [E] are similar to 1924.482 C, with the same decoration. However, they do not fit together, so the decision was made to retain them in their Z number.
