General Notes
The object is missing from the collection since at least 1943, and I was unable to photograph it again during my 2019 and 2020 visits to the AIBL. The photograph in HL, looks as though it is an older photograph scanned into the book, rather than a IR film-photo.

Textual Notes
cc 1: a letter may precede this word, in which case it could be a name.
cv 2: so too Lemaire, "Review," 180.
