Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The holding museum's own catalogue record for the accessioned object, the strongest available record for its attribution, medium, dimensions, date and accession number, independently corroborated by the English Wikipedia article Burke Jizo and by the separately maintained Wikidata item Q124795445, both repeating the same accession number and provenance.
