Photograph(s): The Neff Hall Museum of Anthropology has an array of animal remains on display, such as a badger skull, the shell of an ornate box turtle and the humerus of a plains bison. Illustration. p. 1 -- The Kisanji is differentiated from other forms of the Mbira, a small instrument, by the placement of the keys over a small gourd or wooden resonator board. The keys can be tuned in various ways to suit different moods. Sourced from Ghana, the Kisanji on display at Neff Hall has tin sourced from a sardines can.

Hopi-Tewa pottery, ranging in color from cream to pale red, incorporates natural themes such as animals and rain. Illustration. p. 1 -- The “keffiyeh” or “kufiyeh” is a headdress traditionally worn by men in the Middle East. Now a unisex article of clothing, the pattern on the “keffiyeh” is said to derive from symbols for wheat and fishing nets in ancient Mesopotamia. The “keffiyeh” is now a mark of Palestinian liberation. p. 1 -- Corn husk dolls are present in the history of northeast Native Americans, enslaved African American and American pioneer children. Corn husk dolls like the ones in the Lowell D. Holmes Museum of Anthropology varied in purpose from child’s play to being connected to religious purposes, healing ceremonies and charms to protect the home. Native Americans made their dolls without faces due to folklore in which a beautiful corn husk doll becomes vain and self-centered. When the doll's actions start hurting others, the Great Spirits remove the doll's face as punishment. Ilustration. p. 1 -- The skull of a domestic cat can be found in the Lowell D. Holmes Museum of Anthropology. Illustration. p. 1 -- Axes with a long, flared blade are primarily used for ceremonial purposes by Lugbara chiefs in central Africa.

Historically, the Lugbara lived in chiefdoms as opposed to kingdoms like other Ugandan ethnic groups. Tribes formed alliances with other Lugbara tribes to protect against threats from other ethnic groups. Instead of designating soldiers, every Lugbara man was expected to protect his village.
