Other Information:
The note on the print reverse suggests that the name should be spelt Ndoruma.
This is somewhat corroborated by reference to the Kingdom of Ndoruma in Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic Among the Azande (OUP 1937), which, although not refering to this man but to King Ndoruma son of Ezo, is probably the same name.
