Dance at Mankon, 1937-12
Scope and Contents
53 x 40 mm. After the encircling of the entire compound the women formed into a long line, all the time chanting and clapping their hands to the time of the dirge. They then started a sort of 'follow my leader' all the time keeping up this peculiar skipping lunging step. They passed through many intricate patterns but always in an anti-clockwise direction.
