Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2021-10-22), "Provenience should be Room 210, Northern Kom (Northern Palace). A worked shell bead exactly like this is recorded in Green's field notes from a Coptic child's burial in Room 210 of the North Palace (notebook D-9, p. 58). It is unclear why it was registered in as coming from the Kom (i.e., the North Palace) but is also listed on the PAHMA card as having been purchased.
