In The Azande (OUP, 1971) (page 91) E.
E.
Evans-Pritchard notes that 'The Mbomu granaries were the gburuki and the soro...
the soro is an unusually large grain-store with a door instead of a moveable roof..[and] is built by wealthier persons, but neither, in my experience is often to be seen today.' The same compound and granary also feature in [1998.341.19,.111,.134,.136,.235] It is possible that the full film number for this image is 6(146) since another image of this compound [1998.341.111] has the similar film number 6(149).
Since the print for this image is missing, this may explain why only the number written on the negative (second part of film number) is given only.
