Title

Rod with sword maker

Description

This picture was taken in Suakin Sudan, I had just filmed the local sword maker showing us his swords and daggers, and his party piece which was to demonstrate how to hold an elephant hide shield and sword whilst peeping through a hole in the shield at his pretended adversary. Showing the playback caused great excitement and we soon had a queue of his friends and relatives wanting to be filmed and then seeing themselves on the movie camera.
