Description:
A portrait of a tethered dark ox without horns lying on the ground.
Evans-Pritchard describes this animal as a Thak ma cot[?] lual, which seems to refer to it being a castrated animal (thak); the other terms perhaps referring to the absence or removal of horns (ma) or to markings.
It is likely that this photo was taken in May 1935 after Evans-Pritchard had completed a survey of the Anuak.
