Description:
A portrait of an ox with very large upright horns with other cattle grazing near Mancom village, the home of Evans-Pritchard's servant Tiop, where he spent some 4 weeks in the middle of 1935 at the mouth of the Nyanding River among the Gaajok tribe.
In contrast to his two earlier fieldwork visits when photographing cattle was viewed suspiciously by the Nuer, Evans-Pritchard took numerous record images of them during his later field trips.
