- Curator's comments
- Retrospective reg. number but contiguous big number and similarity of design to N.2072/90857 indicate this must also be from Layard's work at Borsippa. Previously regarded as Late Babylonian, the style and details of manufacture point instead to a slightly later, Achaemenid, date and therefore a significant late phase of reconstruction of the temple.
