Research and responses

This object was found unentered during the DCF 4 - 5 Court Project. The object was found together with a razor [2004.64.2] and arrow or spear-heads 2004.63.1 - .7. The objects were found in a bag labelled '"Arrowheads. Central Africa dd A. Graham, 1912 (not yet entered)"' [this refers to 2004.63.1 - 7]; 'Plus one bangle and one ?razor ?brass.'; '?Lunda - Lovale, N.W. Zambia'. It is not clear what if any connection there is between the arrow-heads and the bangle and razor. As there is no information given as to a possible donor or donation date this object has been assigned a 2004 accession number. [DCF Court Team 18/3/2004]
