 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3043BB/202

Scope and Contents

62 x 40 mm. The earthernware pot sellers from Bamassi. The typical Banso people strolling about, the girls with their waist strings 'Aggedsrs' and the red cloth draped in front 'Teh'. In their hands their raffia shopping baskets, very fine raffia work is done in the area. The effect of cheap Japanese cottons is seen in the hideous garb of the men and women who are mostly mission people and consider themselves very superior to what they call 'The Bush woman'.
