Scope and Content

Bio History Note

There are score marks in the glass that indicate these panes were never properly finished.  The pieces of glass look a little gooey and could use a cleaning, although the Archvist is at a loss as to how to clean these pieces without damaging them. The Archivist is not an Objects Conservator.

Perhaps these panes of glass were meant to be incorporated into a larger project.
