Description:
An upper body full face portrait of a seated Bari woman wearing a large belt of bead strings, tied together at the front. She is also wearing a large metal pendant around her neck as well as metal arm and wrist rings. It seems likely that this image was taken shortly before October 1878 when Buchta reached Lado (Juba) on board S.S. Safia.
