Description:
A Mandari man wearing a European-style shirt and shorts sitting in a deckchair in the shade of a tree, smoking a curved pipe with sections of metal along the stem.
He also has several lines of scarification on his forehead, which both sexes adapted from the Dinka, although without the connotations or ritual of initiation which accompany such markings among that group.
