Description:
A Pitt Rivers Museum photograph with scale showing two wooden disk arm ornaments, probably Nuer, one larger and one smaller.
This image was probably taken at Pitt Rivers Museum soon after their donation and a copy returned to Evans-Pritchard.
These objects have not yet been identified within the collection by Rachael Sparkes, and so may well not have been finally accessioned, but possibly returned to Evans-Pritchard.
