In the museum documentation, "Mandjia" was used as a cultural attribution. The term "Arnado" used on the index card is a pejorative term for non-members of Muslim Fulbe groups. It was adopted by German colonial officers and officials in written sources and referred to the head of non-Muslim groups in the North and Far North regions of Cameroon.
