Description:

A full length portrait of a man with hands on hips and ash-plastered hair standing in a homestead with a hut in the background. Men plastered their hair in this fashion during the process of dying their hair a reddish tint. Based upon film numbers this image was probably taken among the Gaajok at Mancom where Evans-Pritchard spent some four weeks at the home of his servant Tiop, who he first met in 1931.
