Other Information:
Archive note - A lantern slide prepared from this negative is stored in the black wooden lantern slide box labelled "E.E.
Evans-Pritchard teaching slides 1-51.
Tabi Hills, Moro and Azande" Since it was stored along with other Moro lantern slides, a Moro identification is plausible, also since the tree beehive is also characteristic of the Moro.
