- Acquisition notes
- Af1969,37.1 to 76 is a field collection made by David Hicks 'from Berber and other tribes of the Atlas Mountains, Morocco'. The register records his notes on each item. The collection was made for the BM shortly before its acquisition, and most (but not all) of the objects were purchased as new in the market or were commissioned. Nos.1 to 47 are textiles or relate to their manufacture; nos.48 to 76 are a miscellany.
