Description:
The canvas tent used by Evans-Pritchard during his Nuer fieldwork placed under a tree for shade. A chair sits in the doorway with boxes of various provisions stored under the tent-flaps. The location is probably at a village site, possibly in the Bahr-el-Ghazal region, and therefore possibly during Evans-Pritchard's first field trip in 1930.
