Editorial note

What the record supports

Respectful cataloguing includes the terms a museum currently publishes and acknowledges that records can be revised.

We reproduce the published culture and place fields from the museum. We do not use resemblance to identify an unrecorded object, and we do not add ceremonial meaning without an object-specific source.
