Geoffroy's rousette bat, scientifically known as Rousettus amplexicaudatus, is a fascinating creature native to Senegambia. This palm-wine tapper climbs the towering palm trees with remarkable agility, collecting the sweet sap that will later be fermented into a popular local beverage. Intricate French Renaissance typographic ornaments from 1898 adorn this captivating scene, their elegant curves and flourishes adding an artistic touch to the surroundings. The unknown creator of these ornaments surely possessed great skill and creativity. A portrait of Frederick Lemaitre, a renowned actor from the 19th century, hangs proudly on the wall nearby. His expressive face reflects his talent for bringing characters to life on stage, captivating audiences with his performances. The woman in this depiction showcases a stunning hairstyle adorned with exquisite jewelry typical of Senegambia in the 18th century. Her intricate braids and ornate accessories speak volumes about her status and cultural heritage. Amongst her possessions lies a Moorish grisgris – a protective charm believed to bring good fortune – along with a water bottle and pouch from Senegal. These items offer insight into the spiritual beliefs and daily lives of people living in this region during that time period. In another corner of this vibrant tableau stands a Mandinka man skillfully playing a balafon using sticks. The melodious sounds emanating from this traditional West African instrument fill the air with rhythm and harmony. King Sandaineh of Saloum commands attention as he sits regally upon his throne in resplendent attire representative of 18th-century Senegambia royalty. His presence exudes power and authority over his kingdom. A floating bamboo bridge gracefully spans across the mighty Senegal River nearby, connecting communities separated by its vast waters. Its construction demonstrates both ingenuity and resourcefulness within these lands. Metalwork creations alongside woven items showcase craftsmanship prevalent during this era in Senegambia.
