Model of a cheese in a bag (for hanging)

A paper or fine skin-covered bundle of white plaster, melon shaped and tied at one end, apparently intended as a cheese (?). From the studio collection of Clarkson Stanfield RA, acquired 9.04 (Bagshawe Collection).

This appears to be part of ZBA4190 and should be renumbered as such: the detached green-stiped 'melon' currently numbered as part of ZBA4190 should be renumbered as ZBA207. [PvdM 5/06]
