The same girl, 1935 - 1936
Scope and Contents
The caption on the album page continues: 'She is wearing a sporran called tiang; this is worn only by married women. This is a small leather square, decorated with beads and cowrie shells. All the women both Labwor and Karamojongs wear a long leather skirt like this. Extra peices [sic] of leather are sewn in to the shirt [skirt ?] to give a full effect, and usually trimmed with thick beads of copper and iron. The Turkana women also wear this style'.
