Description

The upcurving prow of a fishing boat is seen here protruding out of the reed vegetation at the edge of the lake shore at Kadimo in Yimbo Location. The tip of the prow has tied to it the top of the skull of an antelope with its horns (a boat ritual symbol), as well as a plume of feathers above and a line of woven reed with fronds hanging down stretching back toward the boat.
