Kipsigis Women Nariet Dress Coming Out Ceremony Kenya Africa Vintage 9x6 Photo

CHAU4370  This is an original and official 9" x 6" personally taken vintage press photo from David Keith Jones of Kipsigis tribe girls from the Nilotic ethnic North Kenyan group wearing a Mariet Dress from the ceremony for their "coming out" and details the head dresses and wands the girls have.  David Keith Jones (1933-2022) will always be remembered as one of the most historic photographers of kind. His deep love of travel, history, Africa and wildlife led him and his wife Carla all over Africa & the world, their travels documented by the amazing photos he took from his journeys.  In 1968, he moved to Kenya and started publishing photographs and articles where he taught physics for many years. Later he became a fulltime photographer & writer, and was editor of the East African wildlife society magazine 'Swara'. This photo is part of his privately sold collection and reverse has his hand frank for lifetime COA authenticity (see image 2). I believe the handwriting on reverse detailing all about the girls he met is David's too . It is a one off opportunity and bar slight places this is in great condition..  Please see all my other African photographs from the same estate of David Keith Jones all listed at my store
