- Description:
- From the nomadic period. The children appear to be Western Penan, as their clothing and lack of bangles and headbands would suggest. The structure of the wall, which is not pictured in the photograph, would indicate with greater certainty if the culture is Western Penan or Kenyah.
Person/people pictured from the Western Penan and/or Kenyah indigenous groups.
