A full length portrait of a man standing inside a homestead wearing a textile body cloth, identified as Uliimi-war-Akuon, who Evans-Pritchard describes as a nobleman living with maternal kin at Ukwaa in Thim district.
There is a small enclosure behind him made of thin stick uprights loosely joined at the top by a twisted length of fibre, and possibly marks a grave.
Bundles of thatching grass are stacked in the homestead, some next to a raised granary.
