Description:
Mandari Köbora youths with spears, spear-throwers and shields arriving at a bank of the Nile in dug-outs.
The Köbora had dry-season cattle camps on islands in the Nile where they kept their herds in areas of better grazing and water supply.
People would frequently move between these island camps and the wet-season villages close by, either visiting or relaying goods such as milk and foodstuffs.
