It appears that Dorothy Blair may have acted as an "Intermediary" between the Museum and Mr. Masaemon Iwatsu for 62.6.7-I. The six small beads are noted on RR004439, for which Blair is the Source. Blair, however, notes that Iwatsu is the SOURCE on her 1973 cataloging. This is presumably incorrect given the objects' appearance on RR004439.
