African Ritual Objects Photos




As I was web wandering this evening, I came across this nice collection of photos of ritual objects and ceremonial dress from different parts of Africa. Included are photos from the (DR)Kongo, the Wodaabe of Niger, Bamana of Mali (with photo of a Boli -- which I am becoming extremely interested in these sacred objects), the Asante of Ghana, Yoruba of Nigeria and more. I was really happy to see the photos of the Nkisi and the ceremonial dress of the Wodaabe women. The bead work of the women was beautiful.
