Curatorial Remarks

Note

The cataloging of these two maps is confusing. The original number, V 2220 a-b, was retained for consistency when entered into TMS. This number had been assigned to two separate maps with two different subject matters, hence a and b. The letters do not relate to frames or fragments. Update: January 9, 2013 - The two maps have now been cataloged separately. The map with eight pieces will remain V 2220 a-h and the second map will now be listed as L.2006.21.
