Research and responses

Since Tylor's library was housed in Acland House, it is perhaps most probable that 1952.12.8-9 come from Tylor's part of the Powell/Smithsonian 1885 donation of Zuni ceramics, rather than from Moseley's. However, Balfour appears to have received similar material after 1885, so this is not certain. [Dan Hicks 15/08/2012]
