Discovery cards — GM keeps these until revealed

Revision sheet

Removed from new index: 47, copper bowl; 52, wooden bird; 61, woven mat. Reason entered for all three: maker field incomplete. Approved Yara. No removal from physical collection recorded. Try this: Match numbers to objects and distinguish removal from a catalogue from removal from custody.

Shadow tracing sheet

Bowl shadow: 47. Bird shadow: 52. Mat shadow: 61. Each rectangle is the size of an accession card. A blank card placed in a shadow stays blank; writing a guess makes the shadow tremble. Try this: Overlay or pair the numbered tracings with the revision sheet.

Exterior packing bill

Accession 47. One copper bowl. Square kiln stamp. Sent from North Kiln warehouse on 6 Leafmonth. Maker field: not supplied. Delivery accepted by Bex. No personal signature on bowl or bill. Try this: Draft a label using only the recorded material, origin, date, and uncertainty.

Old catalogue margin

Square kiln stamp identifies the North Kiln workshop group, not a person. Item 47 matches shipment 6 Leafmonth. Previous label: Copper bowl; North Kiln workshop; individual maker not recorded. Research requests welcome. Try this: Check whether a workshop claim is supported independently, and retain the open maker field.
