Description:

A head and shoulders group portrait of an initiated youth surrounded by boys, wearing white body cloths and neck ornaments. The wearing of these body cloths suggests that they are connected with the American Mission at Nasir. Evans-Pritchard visited the mission in both 1931 and 1935 and dedicated his Nuer monograph to the staff there in gratitude for their help during his fieldwork.
