Description:
Three curved grass windscreens (one with a calf sitting in the entrance) with ash-covered floors where people sleep next to the fire in the dry season cattle camp.
The camp is probably some weeks old judging by the depth of ash built up against the wall of the nearest screen, as well as their smoke-blackened interiors.
Tethering pegs for cows can be seen nearby.
Beyond is the Sobat River, a main source of water for the Lou tribe during the drought.
This image may well be of Yakwach camp where Evans-Pritchard spent 3 months in 1931 or close by at Kurmayom (just downstream on the Sobat) where he spent about 3 weeks in the same year.
