content: One reddish-colored skin (apron?) and matching strap. These had (until 2018) a tag which said they were 407559, and were on exhibit in hall 7. However, the objects are not marked with any number, and the catalog card for that number does not include these other two objects in the description or object count. I see no reason at all to believe that these items were part of 407559, and so I have reassigned them to this T number, ET24573. One possibility (unconfirmed!) is that the real 407559, which was severely damaged by pests while on exhibit, was replaced with this skin. Either it had an older catalog number (but I can't find any missing skins from southern Africa that match this description) or perhaps it was an exhibit prop, purchased for this purpose? In any case, it seems possible that this was mistaken for 407559, simply because that was the corresponding catalog number in the exhibit book.
