1998.355.696.2A large group at a dance with pairs of youths in the foreground 'duelling' with spears in mock combat. This sort of war play was a common feature of such dance gatherings where initiated youths of differing villages faced each other in mock running battles as a show of group prowess. Dances were also significant occasions for courtship. Other images of this dance are described as Jikul, a lineage or clan name not associated with one particular tribal territory, but which was a significant lineage among both the Western Jikany and Leek.1998.355.696.2
1998.346.54.1A group portrait of three ash-covered Nuer boys standing in a homestead, with some cattle and a hut visible behind them. Young children and their mothers were often the last to leave the villages in the dry season, joining the youths at cattle camps near rivers or other permanent water sites at the height of the drought. Boys helped around the home by gathering cow dung fuel and milking.1998.346.54.1
1998.355.720.1A portrait of an impressive cow lying on the ground with large upward curving horns (known as wer). Beyond can be seen the lower body of a European colonial official, possibly the DC at Akobo. It is likely that this photo was taken in May 1935 after Evans-Pritchard had completed a survey of the Anuak.1998.355.720.1
