EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a rare glimpse into the ancient rituals of the Krobos tribe in Kumassi, Ghana. The image depicts a group of tribal members known as the Krobos gathering teeth in their sacred grove. Created by Charles J. Staniland, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on February 29th, 1896. The scene is shrouded in an air of mystery and intrigue as we witness this unique cultural practice unfold before our eyes. The Krobos are seen meticulously collecting teeth, which hold great significance within their traditional beliefs and customs. Each tooth represents a connection to their ancestors and serves as a symbol of spiritual power. The setting itself adds to the ethereal atmosphere - the sacrificial grove exudes an aura of reverence and spirituality. Surrounded by lush foliage and bathed in soft sunlight filtering through the trees, it is evident that this space holds immense importance for the Krobos. Through this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a moment where tradition meets spirituality; where culture intertwines with belief systems passed down through generations. It serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to appreciate the rich tapestry of human history found within Africa's diverse tribes. This print from Bridgeman Images invites us to explore not only its aesthetic beauty but also encourages us to delve deeper into understanding different cultures' practices and traditions throughout history.
