Description:
A tethered brindled ox with upright horns lies in the foreground, with a large stake-walled byre (luak) in the background.
In contrast to his two earlier fieldwork visits in 1930 and 1931 when photographing cattle was viewed suspiciously by the Nuer, Evans-Pritchard took numerous images of them during his later fieldwork during 1935-1936.
