Seal, Carved Horn Food-Dish Item Number: E88855-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
From card: "Very old." Ledger book identifies this as a horn dish. Catalogue card originally also identified it as horn, but this was later crossed out and changed to identify the piece as wood. However, it is indeed made of horn and so the object name has been corrected in this database.
