Description:
A nearly full-length portrait of a youth wearing a light coloured body cloth and textile tied around his head.
Based on the film number it seems that the location is probably in the vicinity of Nasir, which Evans-Pritchard revisited during his short period of fieldwork in 1935.
This might explain the man's clothing, since textile wraps were usually worn by the Nuer in colonial and larger settlements.
