General Note

Note

Previously, this object was considered to be part of HHV's collection of archaeological fragments, and so was not given an accession number at the time of its discovery. In 2009, Kate Eagen Johnson, HHV Curator, requested that the object be given an accession number, owing to its rarity and importance in the HHV collection. Furthermore, its intact condition differentiates it from other objects in the archaeological collection and merits its inclusion as an accessioned object in the collection. [Jessa Krick, 8/25/2009]
