Looking down at a group of seated youths, one with his hair mud plastered into a rear horn with dark coloured stripe decoration.
This is done when men are dying and straightening their hair a reddish tinge.
The youths are almost certainly sitting near the opening of Evans-Pritchard's tent pitch in the village.
Evans-Pritchard spent some 4 weeks in (probably June) 1935 at the mouth of the Nyanding River among the Eastern Jikany tribes.
