Description:
A portrait of two Mandari Köbora girls in a cattle camp wearing chain-link aprons favoured by Mandari Köbora women.
One girl has her arm resting on the back of a tethered cow.
A display ox with trained horns sits at its post just beyond them.
Girls were responsible for much of the milking in the dry season camps.
The dress of the Mandari Köbora differed quite markedly from the Mandari around Tali, who in general ornamented themselves more like their neighbours the Dinka.
Some men sitting in a nearby windbreak to right can be seen looking on at the photographic activity of Buxton.
