Thomas Nelson Annandale and Herbert Christopher Robinson undertook an expedition to Perak and the [then] Siamese Malay states in 1901-1902, under the auspices of the Universities of Edinburgh and Liverpool. The results of this expedition were published in Fasciculi Malayenses: Anthropological and Zoological Results of an Expedition to Perak and the Siamese Malay States, 1901-1902, published in London by Longmans, Green in four parts between 1903 and 1907.

Note that 'Sakai Bukit' is often used as ethnonym for 'Po-Klo', but 'Sakai' is an offensive term meaning 'slave'. However, note too that 'Orang Bukit' can also be an ethnonym for some Kensiu people, hence it is not entirely clear from which group this object comes, although Po-Klo and Kensiu are in any case related. Information from Ethnologue. [SHD 1/6/2001]
