Description:
Three curved grass windscreens with ash floors where people sleep next to the fire in the dry season cattle camp.
Beyond is the Sobat River, a main source of water during the drought.
This image may well be of Yakwach camp where Evans-Pritchard spent 3 months in 1931 or close by at Kurmayom (just downstream on the Sobat) where he spent about 3 weeks in the same year.

Evans-Pritchard notes that he 'spent about three weeks in 1931 [at Kurmayom].
Kurmayom is a village of the Lou tribe to the west of Yakwac and, like it, on the Sobat River.
It is near the border between the Lou tribe and the Ngok Dinka.' [Chris Morton 19/3/2004]
