- Acquisition notes
- Af1957,15.1 to 9 were given by Mr A Jackson of Brixton, about whom nothing is recorded except his address. They are of pottery and basketry, and are recorded as coming from the 'north-west Belgian Congo' but with no date. If they came from the coastal region of the Congo, they would be made by the (Ba)Kongo, and the marbled decoration of the pots suggests that this is correct.
