- Curator's comments
- QUERY - According to catalogue, Jewellery 677 also includes one unnumbered bead, and one missing bead (see separate records). However, the 'unnumbered' bead, when located, was found to have the registration number 1897.4-1.417 marked on it, presumably incorrectly, as that registration number is for a pomegranate-shaped pendant, already located by CDMS.
