English: Identifiers on the back of a statue in the Louvre. “MR 242” is the accession number, identifying the object by the order in which it entered the museum's collection; “MR” stands for “musées royaux”. “Ma 1274” is the “ordinary number”, identifying the object by its order of presentation in the rooms; the classification originates in Héron de Villefosse's Catalogue sommaire des marbres antiques (1896), hence the “Ma” prefix.
Français : Identifiants sur l'arrière d'une statue au Louvre. « MR 242 » est le numéro d'entrée, identifiant l'objet par ordre d'entrée dans les collections ; « MR » est l'abréviation de « musées royaux ». « Ma 1242 » est le « numéro usuel », identifiant l'objet suivant l'ordre des salles ; ce classement prend sa source dans le Catalogue sommaire des marbres antiques de Héron de Villefosse (1809), d'où le préfixe « Ma ».
