Context (CMS Context)
Both A and B were originally identified as part of the P.E. Newberry collection, however this is incorrect. The label attached to B is in the handwriting of Captain Philip Whiteway, whose collection came into MAA as the Whiteway Collection but was apparently not accessioned at the time. Whiteway has been added to the Source, but Newberry retained as it is not clear that A also came from the Whiteway Collection.

Context (Amendments / updates)
The Place field tentatively stated Tel el Amarna because this object, along with many others, was found in a drawer with labels that said Newberry Collection. From these this object was incorrectly associated with Percy Newberry who surveyed Tel el Amarna in the 1890s and returned in the 1930s. Due to the Philip Whiteway label this attribution to Tel el Amarna is not possible to determine and has been removed for now.
