Description:
A close up portrait of a group of boys, possibly gathered near Evans-Pritchard's tent.
Their hair has been distinctively shaven in the past to leave a path of hair on the crest.
It is likely that the location is on the Sobat River among the Nuer Lou, where Evans-Pritchard did the bulk of his fieldwork among the Nuer in 1931.
