B&W photographic print. 'Kaolum stands, holding a gun, beside a bear which has been shot. The Lhotas may kill bears which have been damaging the maize crop, the meat being divided among the hunters. The long hair from the neck and shoulders is much prized for the making of the "sweat-wig" which is worn by the warriors on ceremonial occasions. A crowd of onlookers squats behind him.'
