A group portrait of boys wearing white body cloths and a variety of European clothing parts, such as a T-shirt, waist-coat and head-scarf, standing outside a thatched brick rectilinear building (probably the church) at the American Presbytarian 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.
