The first was a blue dwarf, in a grey pagne, with a hat on head; the second, a blue woman, with protuberant breasts; the third, a red dwarf with white eyes, clad cap-à-pié in red and brown; the fourth was a small black mother and child in a blue loin-cloth, with a basket or calabash on the former’s head; the fifth, ditto, but lesser; the sixth, was a pigmy baboon-like thing, with red face under a white skull cap, a war club in the right hand and a gun in the left; and the seventh much resembled the latter, but was lamp black, with a white apron behind. They were carved much as the face cut on the top of a stick by the country bumpkin in England.
