- 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, "Women bringing the girl Ugweme Agbe to her husband in marriage. Both are from Ezi Item compound, Mgbom Village. Though both are from the same compound they come into Amebo ward square to parade anyway. Girl marrying is naked except for waist's bead's, was hidden from me because did not want her photo taken that way as white man critical of nakedness." [Ottenberg field research notes, September 1959-December 1960, Part I].
