Collection donated to Brighton Museum by William Barling of 46 Riley Road, Brighton, 'late of the Bechuanaland Border Police' in September 1936. Catherine Elliott suggested that these items are more consistent with South Sotho manufacture and should be reassessed as the accession record may be incorrect (see Researchers Notes under R4096/1).
