Context (Amendments / updates)
Register noted only 'Benin' as a provenance but it is assumed that this may have referred to the Kingdom of Benin, (now part of Edo State) and potentially a place of collection of Benin City, so these have been added with queries

Context (Acquisition Details)
Collected by Thomas Pennant, (1726-1798), a Welsh naturalist and antiquarian of Downing Hall, Flintshire, Wales. The collection includes British and European antiquarian and archaeological material as well as African, American, Asian and Pacific ethnographic material.
The collection was inherited by Pennant's great-granddaughter Louisa, (d.1853), Countess of Denbigh and the first wife of Rudolph William Feilding, eighth Earl of Denbigh, (1823- 1892). It was deposited at MAA 10 August 1912 by the Rudolf Robert Feilding, ninth Earl of Denbigh (1859- 1939), (see original list in archive, MM1/10/27) with subsequent material being deposited in 1913 by his Countess, Lady Cecelia Mary Clifford Fielding.
In 1925, both groups of material were jointly and permanently gifted to the museum by the Earl Rudolph and Countess Cecelia Fielding
