The interior of the headman of Dibango's compound, with carved forked fence posts (dikweri) surrounding it.
The entrance way is shut with a low piece of woven fencing, and some large gourd and pottery vessels sit on the ground.
There were two headmen of two separate clans in Dibango, who Evans-Pritchard names as Didimo of a lineage of the Jowatcuaa clan and Udol of the Jowatyuaa clan, the former noted as being of more status.
