Broschyr om den samling av omkring 180 etnografiska föremål som Nell Walden donerade till Landskrona Museum, med avsnitt om föremål från Afrika, Oceanien, Indonesien, och Amerika. - - - A short introduction to the collection of some 180 etnographical objects gifted by Nell Walden to Landskrona Museum. English Summary: "Nell Walden's fourth donation to the Museum of Landskrona consists of ethnographical objects. It is a large collection containing about 180 pieces from Africa, China, Japan, Indonesia, Oceania and America. Nell Walden obtained these objects between 1910 and 1930 just when people began to take interest in "primitive" art. The African part of the collection is the largest one and consists of sixty pieces; among other things a throne and five stools from Cameroon, ancesterfigures from Ibibio, Cameroon, Chokwe and Congo, a bowl used in Ifa divination in Yoruba, Dahomey, two textile fragments from ancient Egypt and a fragment of a bronze plaque from Benin. [.] Oceania and Indonesia are represented by ancesterfigures from the area of the Sepik River in New Guiena and Nias, and by weapons from Java, Borneo and the Admirality Islands. From America, i.e. Mexico and Peru, Landskrona Museum has got about thirty jade figurines, a broch-pin of silver, a hard black stone bowl in the shape of an alpacka and a figurine head made of clay. The collection is geographically very heterogenous, which is typical for this kind of collections brought together in the beginning of the 20th century. The exhibition gives a good example of the artproduction of many different cultures and what makes it still more important is that it consists of objects from aereas, whose native cultures almost completely have been destroyed by Western civilization".
