Description

On Strathern's listing: Discussion over pigs at bridewealth transaction. Place: Wariki, near Dei Council.
Not a place Marilyn Strathern was familiar with, but probably the orator is on groom’s side and the bride’s side (partly shown on the left) are listening. How they will respond matters.
