Note that Smithsonian records only indicate that one object with this number went to the Trocadero. Also, Smithsonian records indicate that a bow and 2 arrows number E76294 went to the Trocadero, however the Branly only has accounted for a bow and one arrow. It is therefore possible that one of the two arrows the Branly identifies as 76297 may possibly be 76294?
