- Remarks
- Note reads “This is mistakenly inserted in center but evidence for another plain yellow centered lozenge as below in right.” This apparently refers to the changes to the reconstruction of this beadwork mentioned by Reisner: at the time of the original reconstruction, “it was recognized that there was an all-over pattern of lozenges against a blue ground...On checking over the record, it was found that this main pattern was bordered, probably at the top, by a variation in the pattern and coloring” (Reisner and Smith, GN2, p. 40).
