The Atham-areny are tiny spirits of the Country. They are colourless and live in the places where the fire does not belong. It is important that the babies and children stay by the fire. If the Atham-areny touches you “ you will feel sick. If this happens a witch doctor must come and dance the sickness out.
This painting depicts the women painted up for ceremony to dance these sprits away.
