Peul noblewoman (Fulani, Fulbe, Fula) with tattooed lips and gold earrings from a large semi-nomadic pastoral settlement near Hombori, central Mali. High resolution Noritsu Koki slide scan, Asahi Pentax SP Spotmatic, (SMC Pentax Zoom 45~125mm f/4), circa 1976.
Peul women of this region often tattoo their lips, gums and the area around the mouth before marriage, a painful aesthetic practice and rite of passage signifying marital status.
The extravagant gold earrings or "kwottenai kanye" symbolize the wealth and prestige of a husband or family based largely on the ownership of cattle among the semi-nomadic pastoral Peul of this region. They are also an aesthetic symbol of cultural pride and identity, usually passed on as a gift from a husband to his wife or an heirloom to a daughter on the death of her mother.
The large earrings are made by local smiths or artisans concentrated mostly in the Mopti region of central Mali. They are crafted from a 14-karat bar of gold that is first chiseled and heated over a fire, then hammered into thin blades and twisted into a four-lobe shape.
This proud and elegant Peul woman is likely from the class of “free nobles” (mostly herders, religious and political leaders, some cultivators) at the top of a highly stratified Peul society. Ethnographers distinguish this class from lower-tiered occupational groups or “castes” (griot story tellers and song-praisers, artisans, blacksmiths, potters, woodworkers ) and former slaves (labourers, brick makers, house builders).

Peul herders, Bambara and Dogan farmers, itinerant traders and a colourful multiethnic host of other buyers and sellers converge at this vibrant weekly market every Monday in front of Djenné's ancient grand mosque.
They come from the surrounding regions and fertile flood plains of the Niger inland river delta in the Mopti region of central Mali, part of the semi-arid Sahel zone that stretches across northern Africa just south of the Sahara.
The iconic calabash bowls on prominent display are used to carry goods, store grains or prepare fresh fermented cow’s milk traditionally popular among Mali's pastoral Peul communities.
Access to the mosque's interior and rooftop was forbidden to non-Muslims in 1996 after an intrusive display of disrespect by a Vogue magazine fashion shoot inside the grand mosque.

Postrscript - The enchanting Arabian Nights imagery emanating out of this ancient marketplace at the time if this photo shoot (1976) is reminiscent of a seemingly bygone Sahelian era devoid of smartphones, credit cards, and packaged safari tours.
Nowadays, nascent tourism is on hold and easy access to markets, pastures, and farmlands is hampered as ethnic strife and inter-communal violence continue to erupt under a fragile Malian state.
In 2018, Human Rights Watch reported that the Mopti region of central Mali has become an epicentre of interethnic conflict, fuelled by a steady escalation of violence by armed Islamist groups largely allied with Al Qaeda’s advance from the north since 2015.
Recruitment to the militant Islamist movement from Peul pastoral herding communities has inflamed tensions within sedentary agrarian communities (Bambara, Dogon, Tellem, Bozo and others) who rely on access to agricultural lands for their livelihood.
Predominantly Muslim but opposing ethnic self-defence militias on both sides were formed for the protection of their own respective communities. This has contributed to a continuous cycle of violent attacks and reprisals touching villages and hamlets, pastures and farmlands, and some marketplaces.
While communal tensions are profoundly connected to a larger ethnopolitical conflict unfolding in northern Mali, chronic insecurities around the ancient town of Djenné and the broader central regions of Mali are exacerbated by longstanding indigenous concerns over the struggle for access to scarce natural resources - agricultural land for settled farmers versus water and grazing land for semi-nomadic Peul herdsmen.
Efforts at mediation in the area around Djenné and the grand mosque include a Humanitarian Agreement specifically among Bambara and Bozo farmers, Dogan "hunters" protecting farmers' interests, and Peul herders - all committed to guaranteeing the freedom of movement of people, goods and livestock in the "Circle of Djenné" situated in the Mopti region of central Mali.

The Fulani Woman.
De Fulani vrouwen zijn heel fier en kleden zich in de stijl van hun stam. Ze zijn innemend, schuchter en zeer elegant.
We rijden dwars door het gebied, het west Nuba gebergte, een savanne - gebied waar veel nomaden doortrekken met hun grote kudden runderen en geiten.
Het zijn de Fulani - nomaden die het Nuba-gebied doortrekken. Ze komen van het westen en trekken in de richting van de Witte Nijl naar het oosten.
De vrouwen en kinderen zitten dikwijls hoog bovenop de kamelen, waarop ze dikwijls een bed hebben gemonteerd. Van daaruit hebben ze tevens een goed uitzicht hoog boven het hoge gras. Soms volgen nog wat volgeladen karren met etenswaren en vooral met veel water. Die karretjes worden dan getrokken door ezels.

When I asked the woman on the left if I could take a photograph the others all came rushing to be in the picture. This small gathering of portable homes (made from rush-mats) is alongside the river Niger two kilometres north of Ansongo, a large town south of Gao.
This Festival is held in the town of Segou, on the banks of the River Niger. The people at the top are on the Quay watching this mythical tale involving a large fish puppet (inside of which is a man who moves the fish by crawling along on his knees). The story is told partly in song by the women to the left of the Fish (in white 'T' shirts) who are clapping and singing. Although it is a partly serious tale about caring for the fish in the river, it is also great fun and the audience enjoy it greatly.

For the majority of us who live in the first world it is hard to imagine that many on this planet still live in very basic situations. This was taken in a Fulani village in Ivory Coast. The young woman seems pleased to see me!
This five day Festival is held on the banks of the River Niger in the large town of Segou. It celebrates the arts, crafts, music and traditions of all the ethnic groups in Mali. In this picture the puppets are mythical creatures of the river and the land, enacting a story which is familiar to local people. This provoked much excitement, laughter, singing and clapping among the enthusiastic audience.
These two colourfully dressed young women were in a Fulani village in Ivory Coast.

Just another day in the streets of Mopti, a vibrant multiethnic river-port town and bustling trading centre, strategically positioned at the confluence of the Niger and Bani Rivers in central Mali. Digital film scan, Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, shot directly under the noonday sun, circa 1976.
The Great Mosque of Mopti looms in the backdrop as it undergoes a major restoration focused on stabilizing the upper building structure. The mosque is an earthen mud-brick structure built in the traditional Sudano-Sahelian architectural style. It is unique to the semi-arid Sahel zone that stretches across northern Africa just south of an encroaching Sahara.
A colourful multiethnic procession of itinerate traders and vendors on market day as they file in from the fertile flood plains of the Niger River delta to the narrow backstreets of Djenné, an ancient town and cultural hub in the semi-arid Sahel zone of central Mali.
The line of pedestrians and horsemen continues through an ageless labyrinth of traditional flat-roofed two-storey adobe houses to a vibrant market that takes place every Monday in front of Djenné's Great Mosque. Digital film scan, Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, circa 1976.
