Editorial note
What the record supports
The published record establishes object type, material, culture and date. Interpretation of performance context requires scholarship beyond visual resemblance.
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.
