- Af1859,0908.1 to 99 is a collection of jewellery and clothing made in South Africa which was purchased by the BM from Hugh Cuming. All the objects are recorded as having been collected in Port Natal [Durban], which Cuming must have visited in his ship on one of his collecting voyages (see his biography). The objects may have come from a wider region, and they have been recorded on the database as made in South Africa in the 1850s.
