Description:

A number of oxen (ma gut ox to right) with a hut and group sitting outside talking, taken with the camera resting on the ground. This was possible since the camera was a twin lens reflex camera with top viewer. The location is described as western Nuerland, probably either Nyueny village among the Karlual section of the Leek tribe or Jikul. Jikul is a lineage or clan name not associated with one tribal territory, but which was a significant lineage around Nyueny and surrounding villages in Leek country, but also elsewhere such as Western Jikany.
