Description:
An upper body full face portrait of a Mandari youth, wearing a number of strings of rem waist beads.
The colour configuration of these beads exhibited relative age-grade status.
Age-grades among the western Mandari seem to have been a relatively recent, loosely defined or organized borrowing by youths from their Atuot neighbours, there being no memory of age-grades or even initiation in the past.
