We talked breifly about this in class, why is there a man on a flying carpet at a Natural History Museum? This seems to give children the wrong impression or even a stereotype of this area.
The dioramas in the Asian Peoples Hall had a lot more detail than those of the African Peoples Hall. This diorama has facial hair, skin tone, pupils, facial expression, while the African Hall Peoples do not.
I have no idea what these people or representations of people are supposed to be representing. apparently they are from Mambila or they represent people from Mambila, this was very unclear.
These heads were used to display head gear in the African Peoples Hall. Each of these heads are exactly the same and do not feature pupils or any variation in facial tone. 
These are the Pokot People from the Grasslands. The display text says "they are drawing a small quantity of blood from the necks of young oxen." but it does not say why they do this which i am curious about.
am atypical pokot from west pokot in ortum,if really u want to know why then my contact is maikothomas@yahoo.com
