A man seated near a fence in a compound wearing a conical hat with a chin-strap of ?cowrie shells with two other straps crossing the face. This village was the clan centre of the important Jowatcuaa clan (named after it's lineage founder, Ocala) although it had no headman but prominent clan elders.
