Description:
The entrance to a substantial domed hut with stake-walls that have gaps between them.
Either side of the entrance are a tall branched post and a pair of shorter forked posts.
The shorter ones resemble shrine-posts documented among the Moro Kodo, so it is possible that this image was taken around Amadi post among this group.
