Funeral wake among the Luanda people of Angola. Mourners wail as visitors arrive to view the corpse in a hut, the women wearing fragrant leaves on their heads, while men with spears dance to music from drums and traditional instruments. Handcoloured copperplate engraving after Jean-Baptiste Douville from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, Florence, 1834.
