Anyuak noble with men
A group of youths seated on the ground around a nobleman (identified as Cam-war-Akwei) who is sitting on an antelope skin, wrapped in a textile with a European hat. This Cam-war-Akwei was one of three so-named sons of Akwei-wa-Cam, one of the most powerful nobles of the preceeding generation who lived at Utalo, and was head of a noble lineage. His brother, also called Cam, held the royal emblems from 1921-27 but died in colonial captivity in 1933.
