The Life of a South African Tribe, Vol. 2: The Psychic Life

A black and white photograph of a Ronga man in traditional attire, standing in an open, dry field with sparse trees in the background. He is identified as a master exorcist original: "gobela". He wears a large, elaborate headdress made of dark feathers and a patterned waistcloth. In his left hand, he holds a traditional hide shield and several arrows. A curved horn-like object is tucked into his belt. On the ground to his left sits a large, cylindrical drum decorated with rows of small white objects, possibly shells or beads. The photograph is signed "REMO" in the bottom-left corner.
