Description
Note: Cf. QC-30.001.0062 mit der Bildlegende: "Ind. Götzenfestordner." Vermutlich ist jedoch Bedarawa richtig. - Das Bild könnte deutlich älter datiert werden: ca. 1860er Jahre. Cf. Fixierungsständer hinter der photographierten Person. (BFN 09.1998). Note translation: Cf. QC-30.001.0062 where the caption reads "Responsible for keeping order at a festival for the deities." But the reference to Bedarawa in this caption is probably correct. - This image is probably much older than our latest date, and may be as old as the 1860s. Note the stand behind the subject to keep him motionless during the exposure time. (BFN 09.1998).
