SUDAN. Kordofan. The most graceful dancing in the whole of Nuba jebel area is found in the Kau-Nyaro district. Here the girls dance with rawhide whips held in their hands. The only musical accompaniment is the rhythm of the drums. Their bodies are thickly smeared with sim-sim oil and ochre, their hair is caked with clay and so liberally anointed that it splashes from their plaits as they shake their heads in the dance. 1949.
