Description: 
P. 188-189 "The priest at length made his appearance, with his bed and prayer-book. He is a young man – about twenty years old – modest, and apparently amiable and intelligent." He wears a hat, kolah namadi (Vogelsang-Eastwood p. 12) , like the governor, with a green tunic decorated with red trim covered in an orange caba (Shoberl 1845, p. 34). He cinches in the tunic with a plain belt and does not carry any weapons.
