Description:

A full length full face portrait of a girl with her hand held over her head, standing in a millet garden with the crop very tall, presumably close to harvesting, at Ler village. This would suggest a date towards the end of the rains around the beginning of October, which is the date Evans-Pritchard arrived at Adok in 1936.
