Dear David--- You should have already received a message from the director,
Dr. Barker, but I just want to say the Nkisi survived his trip and we are THRILLED with him.
He certainly has a presence! We got the packet of information too---thanks for that.
It has been a pleasure working with you. ---
Jeffrey B. Wilcox Curator of Collections/Registrar

David-- The figure arrived, safely and in good condition.
He's now been fully unpacked and we've done a preliminary examination.
No problems, no damage and he seems to be as described and as promised.
We couldn't be happier, and thank you! Alex W. Barker, Ph.D., Director

I had an anthropologist this week in my gallery, who told me the sub-style of this Bakongo is Tchi Loango River and that it looks to be from the same style as the one in the Linden Museum
