Village men sitting in and around a village council house in Calabar. Men of the village gathered in such houses to discuss village affairs. The house has a thatched roof and open sides and the men sit on the floor or on felled logs. Mary Slessor, the Scottish missionary, used such a house at Amasu near Arochuku to carry out her mission work.
