MR3874 · 1984 image reworked by artist in 2020

Mali Woman with Embroidered Head Scarf. Peul/Fulani women are readily recognisable by their exquisite adornments - large gold earrings known as “kwottenai kanye”, heavy silver rings and bangles, and hairdos that incorporate large amber beads, Maria Theresa silver dollars, and Venetian glass beads. A Fulani woman wears her large gold earrings given to her by her husband upon marriage. Some women inherit such jewellery from their mothers.
