| Notes: | Label source: Graeco-Roman period (C. 1st BC.). Memo to Rosemary Angel, Museums 16.4.80.: We have now examined the Egyptian Reed Sieve which you sent over for ident. It matches our reference material as follows; Twisted parts wound round hard stems, Cyp, erus sp (Probably C. papyrus), Hard stems, rachis or petiole of date palm, Phoenix dactylifera. It can now be collected as it is too fragile for a transit. (Paula Rudall, Jodrell) | ||||
