Editorial note
What the record supports
Visual description can name documented materials and condition; symbolic interpretation needs a cited, object-specific source.
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.
