content: Object has written on it: "made by natives of Timor [is this referring to Timor Island in Indonesia?] / from King Lycomo to Dr [Jerome Henry] Kidder USN Transit of Venus". Jen Wagelie, Research Fellow, and Adriene Kaeppler, Curator of Ethnology, note that although it was apparently collected in New Zealand during the Transit of Venus Expedition of 1874 - 1875, and thus is probably from Accession No. 3939, it is not Maori in origin.
