Dance of the orthodox priests at the celebration of Timkat, Adis Abeba, Ethiopia

"Bei dem Letzten neben der Trommel kann man die Art Stimmgabel, zwischen deren Zacken kleine Schellen angebracht sind, erkennen. Eine andere wird seinem Nebenmann vor das Gesicht gehalten. Dieser Gruppe stand eine andere gegenüber" ("At the last one next to the drum you can see the kind of a tuning fork in between whose spikes small jingles are attached. Another one is being held in front of the neighbor's face. This group stood opposite to another"). Side view of a row of ca. 8 Ethiopians wearing cloaks and headdresses and holding sticks. The backmost is holding a kebero [church drum], two others a sistrum [rattling instrument]. In the background a crowd of people, many wearing headdresses.
