A young Karamojong girl at Kopoth, 1935 - 1936
Scope and Contents
The caption below the photograph continues: 'The Owele worn by the Karamojong girls is longer and narrower than those worn by the Labwor, and the links are slightly larger and thinner. She has a heavy metal girdle; and dangling down one thigh a bunch of soda water sparklets, which are well polished with constant swinging against an oily leg. The metal trimming to her leather skirt can just be seen between her legs'.
