He carries a hollow wood drum with a felt bottom (not hide, as it says in Dr. Landes's notes), and drum stick. He wears a knitted Candomble lady pin on his right shoulder. He has a tax sticker for 500 reis on the bottom of his foot.

content: Donor's notes, from Dr. Landes "... a commercially produced "Black boy" - "um vagabundo" ('rascal" vagabond') in typical slum street dress. He has a delightful smiling face, is 16 inches tall, barefoot, well-dressed in knitted shirt, cotton trousers, black belt, slightly battered straw hat; 1-1/2 inch cult lady doll is pinned to his shirt. He carries the special Afro-Brazilian hand drum 3 1/4 inches long, with a hide bottom on which the male pulls with a stick producing an obscene [?] sound. This was bought in Rio, 1939."
