nice pieces!
Hi Hillary, are you sure they are Tubu? I read in various sources that Aderawa is a Haussa town in the Niger, and the origin of these "crosses". Or are perhaps the Toubou a undergroup of the Haussa? (I don't know, this is just a question). Would be interesting to know more about. Your Aderawa crosses are very nice by the way, they seem to have some copper parts, which gives them a beautiful reddish touch.
