 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3043BB/37

Scope and Contents

99 x 64 mm. The Chief's orchestra stood around the two posts already mentioned and the women formed a ring and danced round the Fies and their followers who were nearer the orchestra. As before the anti-clockwise direction was adhered to all the time. As more and more people arrived from the outlying towns and isolated farms they formed outer rings until the whole compound was one mass of bobbing humanity with orchestras, singing and gunfire.
