Description (Physical description)
A single storey house, with pitched roof of cane, raised on wooden legs. No furniture, only a slightly lower front ?verandah. labelled ;18G'bekwo doorway entrance, possibly an old exhibition label. An old circular tie on label '?206' refers to the Skeat I listing, but this model does not have the pigeon house, granary, out-houses etc noted in the list. It is probable that it is the Rajah's house, no. 207, a fact corroborated by a pencil note '207/ Rajah's House' on a pink catalogue card found in the box.

Context (CMS Context)
A box labelled with "27 (i)" and "Sk 206/7189) has been located with a model house inside. The house stands on 8 double stilts and has a double peaked roof, the highest point in the centre. Associated with this record because of the salmon pink card label found in side house, which reads in pencil "207 Rajah's House". Other labels attached to the house note "?206" in pencil on circular label and "101" in blue ballpoint in rectangular label and :18G: in type adhered to front of house. However, a second house, with cloth curtains/shades, seven figures on the veranda, with a dog and model tree, has also been located. This box is labelled "27 sk 207" and a modern label notes "102". It is unclear which house belongs to this record, and both boxes have been labelled with "?33761".
