' The skins often originate from antelopes, which were killed by batwa and then ended up in babisa through barter. The ornaments vary even more than in the swamp people, but are largely the same as those found in this tribe. Many of the ornaments on the mantles are the same as on the murals. Fig. 208 shows one of the most beautifully worked babisa coats in the collection I donated to the National Museum." (p. 325, von Rosen, 1916, translated from Swedish). According to the general catalog: Women's coat made of antelope leather. Not sure if it really is an antelope as the fur on this skin is much longer than on the other antelope skins.
