Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “W Africa; Nigeria; Idumowina”, but George Agbo has noted that Idumowina is part of Benin City. The shrine has moved from its location in Northcote Thomas' photograph to a close-by location still within Idumowina. The Place field has been amended accordingly.
