Title	A heathen man, who has just joined an Isango society, with symbols he has been given.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Heide, der neu in einen Isangobund eintritt, mit den Abzeichen.
Description	Note translation: It is difficult to know where this photograph was taken. And it is important to notice the symbols the man carries/wears: (a) some kind of fly-whisk over his shoulder; (b) A staff with leaves; (c) bracelet and anklet; (d) clothing made of skins. (PV 02.2002). - The enlargement possible on the web-site allows us to see that the man's legs are wrapped in fabric with a checky pattern, and that the skin around his body is a sort of tunic, supported by strings around his neck. (PJ 03.2002).; Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission, Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
