Description
Annotation translation: "During a visit to a village near Kwala Kuron we found the women pounding rice for a festival meal. Christians, who were to be baptised, wanted to celebrate a festival of farewell (on leaving their old religion). Were they hoping to appease the old deities? or their consciousness?" Annotation: "Beim Besuch eines Dorfes bei Kwala Kuron trafen wir die Frauen beim Reisstampfen, es galt ein Festessen zu Rüsten. Christen, die damals getauft wurden, wollten noch ein Abschiedsfest feiern. (Austritt aus der alten Religion). Ob sie damit die alten Götter beruhigen wollten? und eben ihre eigenen Gemüter." Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
