Description:
A dry season cattle camp (wec) homestead with cattle, windscreens and huts visible.
To the left is a cattle byre (luak) where cattle spent the night.
As the dry season progressed in about January or February, large cattle camps with a greater population density would be formed called wec mai.
This image may well be of a camp on the Nyanding or Sobat rivers where Evans-Pritchard spent time in 1931 among the Lou Nuer.
