Provenance
Ernst von Carnap-Quernheimb led a supposedly peaceful expedition from Yaoundé to Carnot from late 1897 to early 1898. Probably during this journey he acquired the figures in the area north of Bertoua, in a village called Garga. The exact circumstances are unknown, but von Carnap-Quernheimb mentioned to Count von Linden that in some cases he had paid for objects. Von Carnap-Quernheimb donated both figures to the museum in 1901. In 1972 the museum gave one of the figures away in exchange for other objects. (CR)
