Summary

Description
English: Bundu girls whitened.
Dancing forms no inconsiderable part of the Bundu girls' training in their retreat, and they are frequently brought out to perform before their families and friends. The principal adornment is the dressing of the girls' bodies and faces with strange markings produced by the smearing on by the fingers of a substance called "wojeh," composed of white clay and animal fat.
