Context (Amendments / updates)
Dance costume Z 13424.1 was found in store on a wooden board with black plastic hands apparently attached to a mounting structure inside the costume. This arrangement was first noted on the database in 2001 by Rachel Hand but dates to an older display of unknown date. When the costume was processed and the mounting structure was dismantled, a mannequin head was found inside the costume, within a plastic bag. The head has now been assigned TEMP.03481 and the hands TEMP.03482.1-2.
