The Nelson-Atkins Museum agrees and has noted this on their website. Gabolde compared images of the collar taken by Burton to images from the museum and auction site and found that they appear to be the same. According to Gabolde, parts of the collar were taken by Carter and are in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, while some of the beads on the collar appear to have been restrung into a necklace that is now owned by anonymous owners who have tried, unsuccessfully, to sell them at auction - most recently, in 2015 at Christie's.
