Field notes
Entries pair shape descriptions with named auction or collection references, and the page sometimes records match strength or variation—for example, a “confirmed pair” or a “primary reference.” It also marks limits in the material: one square-bottle comparison is still pending, and the gourd section says reference examples are to be added.
