Black and white photograph of a young Nigerian woman in the village of Igumale, in modern Benue state, mid-east Nigeria. The woman stands among round, thatched huts displaying spiral anklets on her upper calves. The woman also wears prominent bracelets. The image was taken on a trek to Igumale by missionaries from the Methodist Missionary Society. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital in Abia state, also run by the Methodist Missionary Society.
