Description:
Several cattle grazing on large tufts of grass.
This grass is very resistant to drought as well as fire with the inner core of the plant being protected.
The film number suggests that the location is Yakwach village on the Sobat.
In contrast to his two earlier fieldwork visits when photographing cattle was viewed suspiciously by the Nuer, Evans-Pritchard took numerous record images of them during his later field trips.
