- Curator's comments
- Because of duplicate photos, Jolles catalogue is out of sequence: this object corresponds with the Jolles' collection number 229. Jolles notes that this piece is from people who settled near Maphumulo from Msinga. He notes that this piece is in the isishumka convention but is not quite accurate, cf. Jolles 1994. 58. For child?
