E.
Evans-Pritchard notes that whilst the earliest noted Mbomu hats were brimless straw hats with plumes called kutuku, "the hat which is today fashionable, and has been for some years, is of much the same shape but with two new features: black lateral patterns, often wavy lines, and a broad brim, the first being copied from the Mangbetu and the second from the earliest Europeans." In Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic Among the Azande (OUP 1937, page 114) E.
E.
Evans-Pritchard notes that 'One of those whom I knew well was my friend Tupoi of the Amozungu clan, a prominent figure at the court of Gangura...
believed by every one to be a witch of long standing and of great prestige in the witch council.'
