Research and responses

The six objects in this collection were found in a cupboard in the office of the Museum's administrator, Julia Cousins, in 1997, when it was decided to accession them. They appear to have been made to illustrate the sorts of casts that could be made for sale in the Museum's shop. [JC 2 6 2015]
