About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a person dressed in a loose, draped costume standing outdoors. They’re holding a staff with a snake wrapped around it and a winged figure on top. The person’s head is covered with a cap, and their feet are bare except for sandals. The background looks like a rocky hillside. The snake and winged figure are symbols often linked to medicine. This photo was taken during a live performance of a play in 1930. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more artifacts like this.
