Context (CMS Context)
Part of a collection of Indian material donated by Gait, numbered E 1916.148.1-87 (from the entry in the accessions register). These items were also numbered as AR 1916.190.1-87 (from the entry in the Annual Report). Some items have since been known only by their Annual Report number and so, for the sake of consistency, the whole collection has been entered on computer as AR 1916.190.1-87. Original accessions numbers are entered in the CRN field. (Alison McKeating, April 1995)

'Another India: Explorations and Expressions of Indigenous South Asia' 07/03/2017 - 22/04/2018 MAA exhibition label text reads:

Santal Music

Music and performance are consistently held up as markers of Adivasi identity across India. Dance and song are key repositories of indigenous peoples’ history and heritage, with dance perhaps the most visible of indigenous art forms, as colourful troupes are hired to perform at cultural events, political rallies or the inauguration of new factories. Santal wood carver Som Murmu offered to make a dhodro banam, the most iconic and most collected of Santal artefacts, for MAA because it was bad that we did not have one.
