In an earlier letter from Margareta Winqvist, it appears that the exhibition was a traveling exhibition that went on from the National Museum to Eskilstuna, ending on 15 March. It was then decided that it would be send directly to Södertälje. The letter announces a confirmation from Södertälje’s with the established exhibition period March 22 – April 26, 1970.

A total of 21 works, some of which are of a constantropological nature, such as cult objects from Sepik New Guinea, and Bakutamask, 19th century from Gabon and the Republic of Brazzaville. A seated Buddha from the 19th century in bronze, from Mongolia, and a stone sculpture from Lower Congo were also shown to the audience’s hands and eyes.
