Description:
A full length portrait of a man inside a homestead wearing a textile body cloth.
The carved fence posts (dikweri) identify this as the headman's homestead, and this man probably the headman.
There were two headmen of two separate clans in Dibango, who Evans-Pritchard names as Didimo of a lineage of the Jowatcuaa clan and Udol of the Jowatyuaa clan, the former noted as being of more status.
