Description
"Beschneidungsfeier. Lobrednerin der Beschnittenen" ("Circumcision ceremony. Eulogist of circumcised people"). One woman, wearing a dark long skirt, a dark cloth for the upper body and a headdress, is holding a stick in her right hand. She is barefooted. On the left side, behind her, some vessels are standing in one line. In the background people are sitting aground, some are holding sticks in their hands and are wrapped in dark draperies. Behind them is a round thatched hut.
