  • Notes
    From excavations of the Service des Antiquites, April 9, 1924. Found with EMC_JE_48176, EMC_JE_48177, and EMC_JE_48178. A large portion of Special Register section 7 (volumes 13-16) was originally misnumbered, with the object numbers following in sequence from section 1 volume 4; these numbers have thus been given EMC_SR_1 prefixes, despite being recorded in section 7. Hence this jaris EMC_SR_1/114310. The SR numbering was then ammended to the proper section 7 sequence, and it was given number EMC_SR_7/23383.
