Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2021-03-14), "Provenience should be Room 210 (North Columned Court), North Palace". "This axe head was recorded and sketched in Green's field notes for the palace ('on the sand of the gebel bronze axe', D-9, p. 20). Green seems to have given consecutive numbers to objects that do not match the provenience label, thus the attribution... to a context numbered 290, but this is not from a Tomb 290.
