Eastern Mediterranean and Sinai preservation context.
Object record: Thirteenth-century Byzantine-or-Crusader icon from Egypt, preserved as explicit tempera-on-wood evidence in the Materials Laboratory. Production place is taken only from explicit museum/graph evidence; current collection is a separate present-location state.
BIU010 does not infer medieval movement from current museum ownership. Any gift/provenance hypothesis must be carried by an explicit source-backed network record.
Political or ecclesiastical context is shown only when linked through explicit graph records.
Object style is not used by itself to draw a transmission arrow.
Current collection/reception is modern context and is not substituted for medieval geography.
Map position, proximity or visual similarity never creates a transmission edge. Follow the named source and explicit relationship records.
