Context (Field collection)
The source field, previously blank, has been populated with information from the accession register of Z 15554 which states 'd.d. F.W. Green'. However the accession register for year 1898 states that nine limestone mace heads did come into the museum but were here attributed to the Egyptian Research Account. As Green was assigned to the excavation by the Account, both sources have been added to the field.
