content: In 2023, Paz Nunez-Regueiro, Head of the Americas collection at the Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac indicated they have a mat listed as old Smithsonian # 20727, Branly catalog number 71.1885.78.330. 20727 may not be the correct number. It is possible this object is actually E20728, since records indicate at least one mat from 20728 went to the Trocadero Museum in 1885.
