Description

On Strathern's listing: Romba sitting by his pig, Nykint cutting up Ngkeklmba’s pig. Nykint, Mel, Romba around the pig and wife Mande. At Ngkeklmba’s place.
The manner of butchering produces large ‘legs’ or flanks, a cut which has the status of a gift item in presentation to others (not eaten by the pig owner, unlikely even if the whole live pig itself has been a recent gift).
