Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard

Description

Two men dressed in western clothing and standing in a courtyard. While the area is certainly Luo area, the homestead does not seem to be Luo but rather a small institution where these men are working. There is an iron sheet roofed brick house to the right with a pot outside which may be used to gather rain water. The grass thatched house to the left is probably a store. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
