The photograph depicts two women wearing traditional barkcloth 'negbe'. "The main item of women's clothing was a rectangular barkcloth garment called 'nogetwe'.

The photograph depicts woman wearing traditional barkcloth 'negbe'. "The main item of women's clothing was a rectangular barkcloth garment called 'nogetwe'. Worn like a short skirt or sometimes like an apron, it was left open to reveal the 'negbe', or back apron. Women generally wore barkcloth when they were not at work and when strangers were present." [Schildkrout E., Keim C., 1990: African Reflections, University of Washington Press]. During his trip to Congo (now Democratic Republic of Congo), Elisofon visited the Mangbetu people living in Medje village, southwest of Isiro. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for National Geographic and traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17, 1970.

Scope and Contents:

"If circumcision in a sense physically brings about humanity, dress and adornments visually express this humanity. Dress and body decoration -including ear-holes, lobe-extensions and the excision of the two central incisors- communicate conventional social and cultural messages. In this extended sense, the "decorated body" of the Maasai (Masai) serves to differentiate children from adults, women from men, and warriors from elders. The decorated body not only differentiates people from wild beast; it also identifies men with cattle. Children, women and elders have their heads clean-shaven to differentiate them from the prototypical wild beast -the lion." [Kaj Århem, 1987: Milk, Meat and Blood: Diet as a cultural code among the pastoral Maasai. African Studies Programme, Dept. of Cultural Anthropology, University of Uppsala]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Life magazine and traveled to Africa from August 18, 1959 to December 20, 1959.

Scope and Contents:

"At about the age of 7 Maasai (Masai) girls and boys diverge sharply in the wearing of ornaments. By the age of twelve, girls, who have been learning to make their own ornaments, begin to accumulate their wedding trousseau either by making the ornaments from scratch, recycling the ornaments of older sisters or by receiving hand me downs. Girls ears are pierced on top at about the age of four. The lobes of girls are stretched out at about ten to the time when breasts starts to appear, age twelve, and wooden earplugs are inserted to prepare the ears for beaded wrappings and also inkonito onkiyiaa (ear flaps), the leather ear flap that can only be worn after marriage. Girls pass boys in life development because they marry earlier, so the relative timing of boys' and girls' ear modification may vary. Boys have the uppers done at about 6. Their lower ears are stretched when they ask for it between ages 10 and 14. Girls by about twelve may make ornaments for their brothers or other male relatives but not their fathers." [Klumpp D., 1987: Maasai Art and Society:Age and Sex, Time and Space, Cash and Cattle. U.M.I Dissertation Service]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Life magazine and traveled to Africa from August 18, 1959 to December 20, 1959.
