Context (References)
The beaded samples, which consist of 3 star shapes and 4 beaded strips, in black and yellow, with some pink, are very similar to the example illustrated in the Natural Man, (1926) by Charles Hose, p. 134, described as 'Coat, Cap, Knife and Shield of a Kenya Warrior'. I therefore suggest a provenance of Kenyah
