Editorial note
What the record supports
Complete material lines matter for both interpretation and conservation; omitting small components can distort how an object was assembled.
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.
