content: From card: "Japanese, Samurai. Green wood box with metal bands and yellow crest. Drawer at bottom of box suggests this is a helmet trunk. Similar to T-615."
label: Notes
content: Older tag with box ET615, which is very similar to ET614 and may belong with it, indicates it is a container for a Japanese armor suit that was on exhibit. Speculatively therefore, ET614 and ET615 might belong with armor E14171 or ET610? A photo of what appears to be either ET614 or ET615 on display at the Smithsonian circa 1879 (photo may actually date more specifically to 1882 - early 1885) is in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution Archives: Photo ID 2962 or MNH-2962, Smithsonian Institution Archives, Record Unit 95, Box 41, Folder: 4, https://siarchives.si.edu/collections/siris_sic_8263 .
