Abstract:
The won rim then confers with the beads of the clans and Any decide together the exact point to which each hunting party must proceed before turning to help form the great ring which will enclose the bunted animals. All the hunters wear sandals, and each carries three long spears, an axe or club, a knife and a horn; prominent officials like the won rim have their heads adorned with coloured ostrich feathers. Each man's horn baa its own particular note or tune, by which members of a family can be sunmoned to give aid in danger or to help cut up and carry meat. The women who attend the hunt are well laden: tiny carry baskets of food, gourds and skins. Like the men they wear sandak because the short, dry grass stubble and thorns quickly pierce bare feet.
