- Acquisition notes
- Af1903,1005.1 to 15 were given by F B Partington. All the objects come from East Africa: some are recorded as from the Nilotic or Bantu Kavirondo, others from the Karamojo. These groups lived in areas that were then in Uganda (and this location is found on the register slips), but are now largely in Kenya, and for this reason are so recorded on the database.
