Description:
A collection of eight gourd vessel types placed on the ground near to Evans-Pritchard's tent, with camp table and chairs visible beyond.
Two of the gourd vessels include necks, a type used by women for churning milk, others probably used for storing milk and for eating food.
The film number suggests a location of western Nuerland in 1936.
Evans-Pritchard spent about seven weeks in total in Nuer Leek country, during Oct-Nov 1936, mostly at Nyueny village among the Karlual section.
