Curatorial notes

The sketches are part of a collection of Tauern's material that also contains coordinate systems, calculations, maps, notes, sheet music, sketches, and wordlists.

The archive does not hold further information on this collection of sketches, no comments or notes by Tauern that point to his intention or methodology. While most pieces are only complemented by a comment on gender, age and place, the first one includes the remark "Radja" which implies that the sketch was done by the current Raja of Lilinta at the time of Tauern's visit.
