September 1959 - Gods Of War - A close-up of the Naduworncr, Chief priest of the god of plenty, Nadu. His abode is near Odumase. Krobos pay homage to their Gods Of War. Every year both the Yilo and Manya Krobos of Ghana hold festivals to re-dedicate themselves to their war gods. The ceremony dates back to the days when the Krobos had to defend themselves against tribes which invaded their land. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
