Context (Amendments / updates)
The Source for both Z 40095 A-B was tentatively given as Salisbury Museum (ex-Smithsonian Institute) but whilst this is true for Z 40095 A, Z 40095 B is certainly from the G.J.B. Fox collection. The Source field and Auction/Sale information have been updated accordingly.
