Description:

Two men mixing earth with grass to form small piles of walling material ready for applying to the wattle walls of a hut. They both wear metal arm ornaments and neck ornaments. Each small grouping was the residence of a man, his wives and unmarried children, and sometimes also sons-in-law with families. Taken together, these groups of socially related enclosures formed hamlets, a sub-division of the larger canton or tribal sub-group, which had a chief.
