Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
The holding museum's own open-access collection API record for the accessioned bronze, the strongest available record for its culture, date and accession number. The museum's own title hedges the third figure's identity with a question mark, so this record itself is the basis for treating the identification as uncertain rather than settled.
