Other Information:
The girls are described in another image [1998.355.88] as Jikul which is lineage or clan name not associated with one tribal territory, but which was a significant lineage around Nyueny and surrounding villages in Leek country, but also elsewhere such as Western Jikany, which is the description on the print reverse.
The probability is therefore that these women are Jikul clan, but that E-P was unsure of whether they were in Leek or Western Jikany country.
