Description: A portrait of a man seated on a deckchair, identified as Kok (also known as Ajayich) who was an Atuot by birth, but who had lived since childhood with maternal kin in Mandari.

He is wearing a thick ivory arm ornament, which at that time was a prestigious object worn by wealthy people.
