Desciption Of Skull Representation
This abbreviation appears in the basic heading describing a skull representation used during funeral ceremonies in Cameroun Bamilika.
It is followed by the name of a person, presumably part of his collection.
Contexte (not much, I'm afraid):
"1433 g **Legs...**"
I'm assuming "1433 g" refers to the weight of the artifact (grams).
Not sure the glossary entry is the correct one iin this case.
Mille Mercis!

Estate of
For the purposes here I think this is an elegant solution, as a contraction of "donated by/gift of the estate of (deceased person)".
