"Kinderspiele in Baziya. Der Zauberer" ("Children’s play in Baziya. The sorcerer"). The man in the very front is holding a decorated stick in his left hand. He is wearing a extraordinary bonnet, knee-length trousers, a light-coloured shirt, a necklace and earrings. Maybe he is performing a dance. His follower is wearing knee-length trousers and a light-coloured shirt. He is performing the same movements. In the background people are sitting or standing in lines. Some are wearing light-coloured dresses, others are wrapped in blankets or wearing trousers and jackets. Samuel Baudert (1879-1956), born as son of the missionary Samuel Baudert in South Africa, was mission director of the Moravian Church from 1924 to 1927 and since 1929 their bishop.
