| Banging a drum at Pitt Rivers |
Today it was the trumpets and drums that caught my eye.
There are over nine thousand three hundred and fourteen musical instruments in their collection

Not on display but featured in the catalogue was a trumpet not dissimilar to the ones I was drawing that belonged to a witch doctor in Ghana. Sadly, to my mind, the instrument was confiscated by the local police.
One can only imagine the nature of the good doctor's offence.
