A photograph depicting a comparative catalog table of three museum specimen identification tags associated with a fish trap collected by Northcote Thomas in Awgbu (present-day Anambra State, Nigeria). Label A is an aged brown paper tag with printed text identifying the 'Thomas Collection' and 'S. Nigeria 1910–13', alongside handwritten notations including the accession number Z.13941 and the term 'Obu'. Label B is a cream-colored tag with handwritten text in dark and red ink, marked 'FRAGILE' and referencing the same accession number Z13941. Label C is a cream paper tag with the handwritten notation 'Nga Azu'. These labels provide historical documentation of the object's provenance and identification within the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge.
