Accrual Method
Collection was gifted to the Danforth in 2006. Unfortunately they sat uncatalogued for close to 10 years. It took until an IMLS grant awarded in 2015 through 2016 for this collection to be catalogued and put into the collections database. - Rachel 2021 Images for this and 2006.401 were swapped. Unclear if objects were also numbered incorrectly. Need to check whenever the case can be opened. - Rachel 2021 Alternate title - Seated Figure with knees up. Came to us from Pat West
