content: Catalog card notes say "'Worn by Buzei chief'-- label on the specimen. Buzi is the name given to the Gbunde by the Kpelle. Ref.: Schwab, G. 'Tribes of the Liberian Hinterland' p. 19 ff. and fig 66d". Presumably this is why "Gbunde?" is written in as the culture on the card. But Robert Leopold says "Gbunde (spelled various ways in the literature) is a Loma region/dialect... The orginal attribution was Buzei (another name for Loma), but whoever wrote the remarks used a (bad) source that equated Buzei to Gbunde." And therefore the more general term Loma should be used.
