- Scope and Contents
- This photograph was taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while conducting field research at Afikpo village-group, southeastern Nigeria, from September 1959 to December 1960.
- Original caption reads, "Four-day, after the birth, coming out ceremony for my field assistant, Tom Ibe's new son, which he named Simon after me. Mgbom Village. Women and children eating the food, only a bit of which goes into the shrine. At any such sacrifice to the Nsi Omume (nsi Omumu, Nsi Omomo) shrine women who pass by must stop and have some food. If you don't like yam food at least you must lick the soup." [Ottenberg field research notes, September 1959-December 1960, Part II].
