ATICRTICLES by Mrs. Eva LR Meyerowitz on this subject in THE BURLINGTON MAGAZINE (September/October, 1941), deal with the Jebba and Tada bronzes, and develop the thesis that these remark-works of art were in some way inspired by a technique coming from Nubia or even further East, and that in fact some of the figures do or may represent the Blemmy sun-god Mandulis, Buto the consort of Mandulis, and the Blemmy deity likened by Procopius to Priapus, and by Heliodorus called" the Bacchus of the Blemmyes." The author conjectures that these bronzes may have been made in the old Nupe Kingdom on the middle Niger, which, according to Frobenius lasted from 641-1275 AD As this thesis is supported in some points by references to articles by me in Man, in Sudanese Memoirs (a Nigerian Government publication) artd to my book The Bornu Sahara and Sudan (1936), I amn interested; so much so that I feel impelled to offer some comment. Though in its detailed application I am not always in entire agreement, yet in its broadest aspects, I agree that the conceptions under-lying this thesis are true, and of great importance to a proper understanding of art in the western Sudan.
