Agintawa; men-women-children |
C3: |
A group of men, women and children gathered around one of the houses at Agintawa awaiting the preparation of the meal. This picture shows rather well a typical pigmy house. Pigmy villages are almost always built on the tops of ridges in order that their gardens may get the maximum benefit of the sunlight. As a result, from every pigmy clearing there is a magnificent view. |
