Description:
A profile portrait of a standing man holding a club over his right shoulder, seemingly unaware of Evans-Pritchard's camera.
The image seems to be related to others of the gorot fertility rite carried out for a young couple, possibly at Nyueny village in western Nuerland where Evans-Pritchard spent 5 weeks in 1936.
