Some men look on from outside the group, but are not directly involved, though they may be viewing their daughters. Women carry headloads, presumably of dress materials girls wore in the bush, possibly other objects.. Note the use of beaded headbands. Newly initiated girls, showing beaded headbands and hairdos.
