Notes: Provenance: Collection of Engineer Elísio Romariz dos Santos Silva, the pipe marked corresponds to the item with nº 183 mentioned in the notebook of the collector «Angola - Arte Negra, Relação e descrição das peças», identified in it as «Pipe»: "Purchased in 1973, to a woman worker on a farm near Cabio(?), next to the Cabal river and about 12 km northeast of Catungue(?), where the Benguela Railway variant passed, at the time still under construction. [...] Decoration with beads, which is not common (it is the only example I know)." “Musical instruments, combs, pipes, axes and finely crafted stools may include elaborate figurative and/or abstract motifs and belong to those who can afford to obtain them”- cf. JORDÁN, Manuel - “Os Tshokwe e Povos Aparentados”. In “Na presença dos Espíritos - Arte Africana do Museu Nacional de Etnologia, Lisboa”. Lisboa: Museu Nacional de Etnologia, 2000, p. 114.
