| Object history | According to the donor, FE.99 to 105-1975 are seven pieces acquired in mid-1967 from the Barrio Gatid site, Laguna near Manila, and probably all came from one grave: they are of interest in comprising several quite distinct types of ware. For other blue-and-white jarlets, see FE.4-1975, et. seq. |
