Cataloging History
2022 Cat: Amber Reider
Curatorial/Cataloger Comments
2022 Cat: These earrings do not have a maker's mark on them, however, since they are deemed to be part of a set which includes 056 which does have a maker's mark that was found to be from the artist Lorraine Waatsa. This was also likely made by her.
