content: Object at one time called 11853 is was later numbered 11858. Change apparently happened in late 1970s?, as it was published in Fowler and Matley (1979) as 11853 but the computerized inventory recorded it as 11858. In 2024 it has been restored to the number 11853 as there is a basket at the Musée Du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac. Paris that bears former Smithsonian number 11858.
