- Notes
- Found December 1858. Height incorrectly listed in JE as 85 cm. GEM: Old Kingdom; CG: Middle Kingdom? A large portion of Special Register section 7 (volumes 13-16) was originally misnumbered, with the object numbers following in sequence from section 1 volume 4; these numbers have thus been given EMC_SR_1 prefixes, despite being recorded in section 7. Hence this jar is EMC_SR_1/10983. The SR numbering was then ammended to the proper section 7 sequence, and this jar was given number EMC_SR_7/20054.
