Editorial note
What the record supports
Named authorship should be repeated exactly as recorded and separated from later workshop or school attributions.
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.
