A wonderful picture eva.
thanx for sharing
@Thank you Ayis, and Sarah. As said, it is from a book, about Gold in West Africa (very interesting and lots of beautiful photos). Don't ask me about the amber on the head, I do not know if it is real or false, same as the jewellery, some could be real solid Gold, some could be guilded. The Peul's main area in Mali is around Mopti, a wonderful, lively City with a beautiful mosque and a very busy river Harbour with hundreds of beautiful (with Patterns painted) pirogues.
