Key Information
Photographer
Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard
Description
A portrait of a girl under a tall tree (out of focus), described as a girl from Uyoma. Uyoma is both a village in Alego Location and a location on its own by that name and far from Alego. I would favour the Alego village on the basis of the natural environment I can see. In a related photo this girl can be seen as part of a group watching a Luo funeral ceremony (tero buru).
