Dear all, These items were offered to Brighton Museum & Art Gallery but sadly fall outside our collecting policy. The donor, Mrs Joy Wilson, who is based in Aldwick near Bognor Regis, is keen to find a home in an Accredited museum collection for them. She would like for them to be collected from her within the next 6-8 weeks as she is looking to move house. Please do get in touch with Mrs Wilson directly ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) if your institution is able to accommodate these items. Helen. Helen Mears Keeper of World Art Royal Pavilion & Museums 4-5 Pavilion Buildings Brighton BN1 1EE 00 44 (0)1273 292863 I work 3 days a week - usually Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Joy Wilson Sent: 13 December 2013 18:01 To: Helen Mears Subject: African Artifacts Apologies for the delay - technical problems. Apart from the headrest and headdress, the artifacts from Karamoja were obtained from Moroto prison on 26th April 1963. They had just been confiscated by police after they had been used in an inter-tribal fight. The wooden shafts of the spears are not shown because of their length. The Kalahari Bushmen artifacts were obtained in Botswana in the late 1970s. The remaining objects are from the Buganda region of Uganda. Please let me know if these are of interest to you, or any other museum with which you are in touch.
