Abstract: Report on a Collecting Trip in Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Czechoslovakia & Belgium, 5-7/1922, pp. 3-5. Culin visits W.O. Oldman, Ethnographical Specimens, London, and examines fine carved Benin objects that were reserved for Dr. Gordon of the University Museum for 300 pounds sterling, beyond Culin's means. However, the deal had never been concluded so Culin selected some objects for purchase and some to hold. Culin notes that his purchases were about what he expected except for a carved wooden Nigerian town gate showing a procession in relief of the King, his wives and his guards. His total African purchases came to 195 pounds sterling. | |
