Description:

A Shilluk man standing next to the hut of a homestead, apparently performing a spear-dance for the camera, with others sitting in the shade of a wind-break nearby. Other huts of the village can be seen beyond. It seems that Evans-Pritchard visited a Shilluk village briefly during one of his trips to the Nuer, probably the Doleib Hill missionary station on the Sobat River (roughly six miles from its confluence with the White Nile), established in 1902 by the American Presbytarian Mission and after 1925 run by Rev. J. A. Heasty, seen in one of the images.
