Summary

Description Photo taken in 1967 or 1968 at Bafodia, capital of Wara-Wara Bafodia Chiefdom, northern Sierra Leone. G. H. Garrett, travelling in this area in 1890, wrote "Their weapons consist of spears, and bows and arrows, the latter poisoned; the heads are barbed and bent, which gives them a rotary motion and enables them to dispense with feathers." (Source: Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society, 1892, pp. 444-445)
