1998.355.632.2
Description:
An upper body portrait of a smiling youth, wearing a white shirt and metal neck ornament on a chain.
Evans-Pritchard described him in different places as both Atuot and Dinka - the Atuot were culturally and geographically integrated with the Dinka although linguistically closer to the Nuer.
This youth is almost certainly an Atuot that Evans-Pritchard met during his fieldwork in Western Nuerland in 1936, and who in another image is demonstrating an Atuot dance gesture for the camera.
Photographer:
Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard
Date of Photo:
1936 October - November
Region:
[Southern Sudan] Wahda
Group:
Atuot
Notes:
There are 18 Rolleiflex exposures labeled as film number '4' – comparison of the number 4s on the print reverse however shows that they fall into two sets of nine negatives, the gorot series and this series.
