Took Photo *A3722
Removed Nos. 241 - 243.

These were group of inlays and gold strips lying under 216 etc. They were in the greatest confusion and came from at least three separate articles.
It was now clear that the inlays to the west of the last name should be dealt with next. They appear to run under the larger pieces to the south.
