| Content and context |
The caption to the right of the photograph reads: 'In the centre of the picture is Niapu himself (wearing a felt hat). He is just walking off into the forest to relieve nature. This called for quite a ceremony. His orchestra who were sitting about, began playing with great abandon, and the girls began singing his praises'. |
