lab hours

2.5 hours online research of artifacts. I found historical information in a google book that related to the tea trade that leads me to rule out that the tea cup was from a "chief" in the South Pacific, due to the information… I haven't found a similar tea cup online from Japan.

I found similar wood beads, but not glass beads.
