A Mrua Medicine Man and his Train, from a sketch by Lieutenant Cameron in Central Africa, 1876. 'The people of Urua, or Kasongo's country, are called Mrua, by a change of prefix to the name signifying the nation instead of the territory...The Mrua "medicine man" or conjuring priest, in the grotesque pomp of his attire, with his instruments of mystification, and with his attendant train of servitors, is a rather amusing figure to meet on the road'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
