This photograph was taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while conducting field research at Afikpo village-group, southeastern Nigeria, from December 1951 to March 1953.
Original title reads, "Second funeral or the memorial, often called 'horse funeral' or 'horse title' at afikpo, Amachara Village. Something a man does in honor of his father, often years later after his death, as in this case. Otelerri is doing it. Ottenberg joined his matrilineal clan at this event. Boy from Otelerri's compound leading the horse and holding a white cock, going to the Afikpo market as part of the title announcement. Horse and cock were later sacrificed." [Ottenberg field research notes, O Series, December 1951-March 1953].
"When a mature male dies his eldest son is responsible for burial and the funeral ceremony. The burial is followed by a series of related rituals, which generally continue to express the relative positions of the descent groups. The first is the 'goat funeral'. This ceremony is followed by the ritual of placing a shrine pot for the deceased in his ancestral house. At any later time the deceased's eldest son may perform the 'cow funeral', giving his father's matrikinsmen a cow, and a horse as well if he is rich. The ceremony is optional, and is a prestige ritual to honor the father and display the son's wealth." [Ottenberg, 1968: Double Descent in an African Society; The Afikpo Village-Group, Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1968].
