content: E360084 and E360085 appear to be a pair of figurines, with E360084 being male and E360085 being female. The description on their catalogue cards has been reversed. The cards indicate the female figure is a "Carved resemblance of the Ngwapa Chief's wife. Reveals tribal style of hair trimming and skirt, Soutpansberg, Transvaal (mts. near Louis Trichardt)". The male figure is described: "Resembles Ngwapa Chief - Soutpansberg, Transvaal". Both figures have been attributed as Suto by N. J. Van Warmelo, 5/24/66, and as probably Pedi by E. Shaw 5/12/66. [Footnote: Ngwapa is a place name in Botswana.]
