The image captures a display case in the Nyango Exhibition Hall, showcasing "CONFISCATED ITEMS." Inside the glass-fronted case, a dark, woven object, possibly a bag or pouch made from animal skin, is prominently featured. This item is adorned with numerous light-colored, oval embellishments resembling cowrie shells or small bones, and appears to be part of a collection of "magical items." The background behind the display is made of wood, and reflections on the glass obscure some details. A green and white informational sign is visible on the right side of the display, providing context in both English and French. The English text explains that in 2004, authorities apprehended a seller in the Limbe market illegally possessing an African Rock Python, which was used for entertainment and to sell "magical items called juju." Both the python and these items were confiscated and transferred to the Limbe Wildlife Centre (LWC). Since then, the python has served as an ambassador for its species at the LWC. The French text conveys the same message. The display highlights the issue of illegal wildlife trade and the efforts made to combat it, particularly concerning the African Rock Python, within the setting of an educational exhibition.
