The Provenance of Wellcome Objects from the British Empire Exhibition
Will Rea discusses the provenance of objects from the Nigerian Pavilion at the 1924–25 British Empire Exhibition. He notes that some works entered the Wellcome Collection after the exhibition, suggests that the maker of a calabash, identified as Audu Mai Alijeta, may be individually recognizable and argues that the object's attribution is likely reliable. He also mentions the possibility of tracing descendants of exhibition participants and highlights the topic as a promising area for further academic research.
