Description:
A dry season cattle camp with two byres (luak), huts, windbreaks and Evans-Pritchard's tent visible.
As the dry season progressed in about January or February, larger cattle camps such as this with a greater population density would be formed called wec mai.
This image may well be of Yakwach camp on the Sobat river where Evans-Pritchard spent 3 months in 1931 among the Lou Nuer.
The byre (luak) and huts visible in this image could be those of Cam-Carau, the chief man of the settlement, according to Evans-Pritchard's own sketchmap.
