Description:
A three-quarter length portrait of a man wearing dammur cloth, photographed by Evans-Pritchard during his brief two day visit to the hill, the peoples of which speak a dialect of Burun. He also noted however that some people identified themselves as an exogenous group known as Fuin, who formed an aristocratic group with a 'king' who was frequently in danger of regicide from other potential leaders. But this group seems mostly to have been absorbed by Burun.

Other Information:
In Ethnological Observations in Dar Fung, Sudan Notes and Records Vol.XV, Part i, 1932 p. 13, E. E. Evans-Pritchard notes that 'Linguistically the inhabitants of Ulu come into a group of Burun languages, and there can be little doubt that the Fuin as a physical and cultural type, whatever that may have been, and if indeed there ever was a distinct physical and cultural type which can be so labelled, has been absorbed by Burun.'
