Title	Dedication of the church in Pamu. Guests ready to receive the greetings of the King of Pamu and the chiefs.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Kirchweih Pamu: Europ. Gäste bereit den Gegengruss des Pamukönigs und der Häuptlinge zu empfangen.
Description	Note: "Gegengruss" nimmt Bezug auf einen in Südghana ausgeübten Brauch. Die abgebildeten Besucher haben den König und die Oberhäupter schon begrüsst und haben nun Platz genommen um ihrerseits vom König und den Oberhäuptern begrüsst zu werden. (PJ 07.2998).; Note translation: "Gegengruss" here refers to formal greetings ceremonies customary in southern Ghana. These visitors have already filed past the king and chiefs, shaking their hands. They are now grouped so that the King and chiefs can pass by them shaking the hand at least of the most important. (PJ 07.1998). - Note the cameras. And is it possible that the umbrella belonged to the Basel Mission Field Chairman? According to his son the Field Chairman Henking used an umbrella and some other symbols to indicate his status when approaching chiefs. (PJ 04.2001).; Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission, Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
