157 x 111 mm. A head and shoulders portrait (slightly blurred through movement) of four young Bundu girls their hair elaborately arranged: 'The foundation of the coiffure is most elaborate plaiting, upon which is built up this extraordinary structure; here again we have the bunches of Bundu medicine seeds already mentioned. The hairdressing of this country is ... Done up to present a full and broad front, extending from ear to ear, the high coiffure slanting back at a considerable angle. Three of these girls are wearing rope-like necklaces, which are made from very fine flexible can bugles, dyed red with camwood and threaded. Earrings are worn; they are three pieces of a thin similarly dyed cane, forming a triangle. The forehead of the girl to the right of the picture is heavily dressed with the country wqieh [a substance composed of white clay and animal fat], and each carried over her right shoulder many fetishes belonging to the Bundu order. It is a very interesting group, thoroughly characteristic of this part of the country.' (Alldridge 1901, page 212).

A photograph probably taken in February 1891 at Yandahu Vassa on the 21st of which month Alldridge made a treaty with Fabanne, chief of the Vassa country.
