Publication: Image published in ‘The Tailed Head-Hunters of Nigeria’, opposite p.146, with the following caption:
"A Kajji Granary
This is built in the shape of a bowl, and is placed on stones for legs. The top has a permanent roof most of the way up, and a removable cap (now removed) so as to allow of access to the grain. A low wall built outside the stones at the foot enables the vacant space to be used for poultry, the fowl-house having a separate door." [JD 14/8/2013]
