content: From card: " ... Two vessels were discovered in 1984 with 1490 on them, although the catalog card for 1490 only lists one item. One of the two vessels had 1490 lettered over the faded original number. Under UV light this orig. no. was determined to be 1491. The description for the true 140 is as follows: Description: Height: 3 3/8" high; Diameter: 2" at max. Remarks: Small, undecorated clay urn-shaped vessel, with slightly flaring rim and pointed base; 2 side lugs at widest point. Camille Juliana Processing Lab Inter 8/24/1984".
