JL-U-19

[Source - Nessa Leibhammer for FHYA 2017: The two boxes containing Brenthurst catalogue cards compiled by Margret Carey for Jonathan Lowen, were kept by Nessa Leibhammer in her office during her time as curator at the JAG. The entire southern African Traditional Collection including Brenthurst has been entered into the City of Johannesburg Star database, a digital record keeping system without images, set up in the early 2000's. In 2015 SAHRIS funded the digitisation of the entire southern African Traditional Collection including Brenthurst. This is now publicly available via their website http://www.sahra.org.za/sahris/]

Although he implies that some of King Mpande's dancing girls also work red/blue/white beads, the association of these colours with Natal (in the mid-nineteenth century but also now, in the Tugela ferry regions) is confirmed by Bishop Colenso in Ten Weeks in Natal (1855). Prob more north Natal, either N/S. (handwritten annotation)]
