Dance at Mankon, 1937-12
Scope and Contents
62 x 40 mm. Towards the late afternoon the large numbers dancing necessitated the ring being formed round the compound and with the drums, the flutes and the Mimbo the chief could hold his dignity no longer so left his throne and dressed in his German uniform and white suit joined the merry throng. As he shuffled round with his Fies on either side of him the chief women moved out and formed up to 'salute' him.
