Sambo's first born (3 of 3)

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:09:04 +0000

GE-C: "This was donated after the 2007 Antiques Roadshow by somebody, a lady of about 70, down south. It belonged to her grandmother and it had been in the attic for a long time. Funnily enough, I found another of the set. It's definitely American. They're slaves but they've been made into a caricature of white middle class people."

GE-C comments: "This is nineteenth century. It comes from the Bula tribe in West Africa. I got it in a car boot sale.
