ugandamuseums Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology 3/ Among the most consequential objects are a collection of balongo--sacred 'twins'--that had important ritual purposes in Buganda. We are working with the Buganda kingdom to return them to the tombs from which they were taken. Below: Roscoe's 1903 photo of balongo.
