Read & Dalton 1899: Elephant tusk of the same style as Af,1224.2. On the outer curve are eight figures, none of them Europeans; but on either side of the figure at the foot is a European holding a hoop-shaped object, perhaps a manilla. The other figures represent musicians, chiefs, and attendants, as on the foregoing examples, with the difference that one figure is entirely unclothed. The animals are the conventional cat-fish, the elephant's head with trunk ending in a human hand, a crocodile, and a large grotesque bird, like an ostrich. The point, as in the other tusks, represents a head of a chief.
Read & Dalton 1899: The ivory of this tusk is in much better state than is the case with the others [Af1897,1224.1-2], but like them it appears much worn by rubbing on the outer curve.
