Abstract

Description

Dividing pig carcasses. The allocation of portions of pig carcasses given to the bride's clan took a full day. The picture shows men deciding the allocation according to value of portion and entitlement of the clan member. Fatty portions appeared to be more highly prized than lean portions. (Plate 2, SPC article).
