Notes:

[1] See a receipt dated December 1, 1970, acknowledging the delivery of the object owned by Lt. General Cassidy to the Freer Gallery for study and consideration for purchase, copy in object file. The receipt indicates that it was sent from Mrs. A. D. Wilder at 1422 N. Ivanhoe, Arlington, VA. Lt. General William F. Cassidy was stationed in Japan at the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, and served as a senior logistics advisor to the Republic of Korea Army between 1958 and 1959. A typewritten label which was attached to the piece reads, "Found: Bunwhang-sa Temple, vicinity of Koungju [sic]." Properly, this refers to Bunhwangsa (Temple), vicinity of Gyongju.

[2] See Invoice issued by William Cassidy on December 1, 1972, copy in object file. The object was purchased from Cassidy for a nominal fee, and thus is considered a gift.
