Collection donated to Brighton Museum by William Barling of 46 Riley Road, Brighton, 'late of the Bechuanaland Border Police' in September 1936. Accession register description reads: 'Worn by the wild bushmen of Ngamiland, Bechuanaland, about 1895'
Catherine Elliott suggested that these items are more consistent with South Sotho manufacture and should be reassessed as they may not be from Bechuanaland (see Researchers Notes under R4096/1).
