We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"533. Reel  - "Adjunang" A simple bobbin made from bamboo on which the spun yarn is wound. This device consists of two half-meter long, thin bamboo slats which are crossed and on whose ends pieces of bamboo, about one foot in length,  are attached. The yarn is wound onto these pieces of bamboo."Translation of: Czurda, F. A. J. (1883). Catalog mit Erklärungen der Etnografischen Privatsammlung des Dr. F. A. J. Czurda in Postelberg (Böhmen).
