Description:
A full length full face portrait of a Bari woman wearing a fringed skirt and arm and neck ornaments, standing in front of a hut entrance, probably at Gondokoro.
It seems likely that this image was taken shortly before October 1878 when Buchta reached Lado (Juba) on board S.S.
Safia.
The hut door is unusual in that it seems to consist of a double door sealed by a large wooden latch, perhaps a chief's residence.
