content: IN 1999 A STONE OBJECT WAS FOUND AT GARBER WITHOUT A CATALOGUE NUMBER. AS IT SEEMED TO MATCH THE DESCRIPTION OF # 74605 IT WAS TENTATIVELY GIVEN THIS CATALOGUE NUMBER. However, the real 74605 was located in Archaeology storage, and the number for this object cannot be determined, so in 2019 it has been given a T number. Very speculatively, one possible number might be A62017? This is an Ottoman period tombstone (may be from Turkey, or elsewhere in Ottoman empire) with carved representation of a turban on top. Tombstone is for Marhoom (the late) Syed Aashir Agha Zaujana. Date of death for the person is 1227 AH, which would be 1812/1813 AD.
