They primarily inhabit the Nile River basin, stretching from Mangalla through Bor to Renk, as well as the regions of Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile, and the Abyei area traditionally associated with the Ngok Dinka.
The Dinka people are a herder Nilotic group that move according to the seasons in search of water and grazing land. Their lifestyle is reflected in their art as they excelled in crafting smaller objects that are easier to carry such as stools, and headrests. In most cases, their sculptures are made from a singular piece of wood.
