Description:
Two small family settlements composed of a rough ring of huts with a central animal enclosure on the Tabi massif. The enclosure to the left was the residence of chief Nurufa, wives and children, and to the right that of his son-in-law and family. In the foreground is a small blacksmith's shelter. Taken together, such groups of socially related enclosures formed hamlets, a sub-division of the larger canton or tribal sub-group of which Nurufa would have been chief.
