Research and responses

Please note that this collection is difficult to catalogue because some of the series have been matched to records and without assembling the entire collection and dividing it as it was originally accessioned it is difficult to determine which of the figures are zoomorphic/ anthropomorphic and what was considered such by the person who accessioned these. We have matched records to objects as best we could but if more objects are located the entire collection of 79 figures should be assembled [L.Ph 'DCF 2004-2006 What's Upstairs?' 28/10/2004]
