"Frauen beim Kopfrasieren. (Musangano)" ("Women shaving their heads. (Musangano)") A woman holding a baby in her arms is sitting on a bench and being shaved by another woman who is standing in front of her. In the background: thatched huts. They both are wearing traditional clothes and bracelets on their arms and legs. Ernst Hermann Schnabel (1904-1953) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine and served in East Africa until the end of the 1930s. In 1934, he married Käthe Prellwitz in Kyimbila.
