Dancing priests at the celebration of Timkat, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia

"Die zwei Glieder der Priester tanzen gegeneinander an. Der eine Priester, der Dritte im rechten Glied vom Beschauer aus hat eine Klapper zum Taktschlagen in der Hand" ("The two rows of priests are dancing against each other. One priest, the third in the right row [viewn] from the spectator holds a rattle for beating time in the hand"). Two rows of ca. 8 Ethiopian priests dressed in cloaks, with headdresses, and sticks. The first in the left row is holding a kebero [church drum], the third in the right row a sistrum [rattling instrument]. In the background a crowd, to the right a man with a big kebero.
