Title	Ndjoya's brother Nzi Ndab.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Ndjoyas Bruder Nzi Ndab.
Description	Note: "Kg. Ndj. Bruder Nzi Ndab Brustbild von vornen. Ein unbedeutender Bruder des Häuptlings ist Nzi Ndab. Er hat am Hofe keine Funktion, kommt nur ab und zu, seinen königlichen Bruder zu grüssen. Er ist ein sehr schöner und überaus höflicher Neger, der, im Gespräch mit einem Europäer, vor lauter Höflichkeit minutenlang keine Worte findet, sondern nur ein hilfloses Stottern hervorbringt. Ein kleines Mädchen, das seine Braut war, besuchte die Missionsschule und der Königsbruder sah sehr darauf, dass sein zukünftiges Weibchen die Schule regelmässig besuchte und war stolz darauf, in seinem Gehöfte ein Mal eine zu haben, die von der Weisheit der Weissen genippt hatte. Die Mütze [Wort unterstrichen], die der Herr auf dem Bilde trägt, ist eine kunstvoll bestickte Reitermütze [letzten beiden Wörter unterstrichen], ein Kleidungsstück, für welches der Bamummann unverantwortlich viel Geld auslegt." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: K[in]g Ndj[oya s] brother Nzi Ndab, head and shoulders from the front. Nzi Ndab is an insignificant brother of the chief. He has no function at court, and only comes now and again to greet his royal brother. He is a very handsome and very polite African who, out of sheer politeness in conversation with a European, often loses his words for minutes at a time and can only stutter. A little girl who was [sic] his future wife attended the mission school, and this king s brother paid careful attention to see that she attended school regularly. He was proud to have a woman in his compound who had tasted from the wisdom of the white man. The cap which this gentleman is wearing in this picture is a beautifully embroidered rider s cap, a piece of clothing for which a Bamum man will invest an irresponsibly large amount of money. (A. Wuhrmann, 1917, Commentaries on Slides from Bamum, E-30-0,6. K 331.).
