DEUTSCH-OSTAFRIKA HAEUSERBAU STEREOSKOPIE
Stereoskopie der Keystone View Company zwischen 1885-1890 - Eine Maennergruppe in Ost-Afrika beobachtet Masai-Frauen beim Haeuserbau. - Vergleiche auch die Rueckseite unter der Image-ID 248893439. Die Originallegende lautet: We are in one of several villages in that part of East Africa which was a German colony before the Great War, about forty miles south-west of Mount Kilimanjaro. The plains in this district are occupied by Masai tribes; some of these lands were formerly occupied by the Wachagga, but the Masai were the better fighters. These men are strong, keen-witted, and able to do splending execution with their long spears, either when guarding their feeding cattle and sheep or when going out to kill big game. All these women are matrons; their heavy necklaces of brass wire are marks of distinction assumed on their marriage. As young girls, some of them were probably comely after a fashion, but their life now is a hard one. They do the work of every kind outside the hunting and cattle herding. They do all the house-building, all the planting and cultivating and harvesting, all the milking and cooking, in addition to caring for their children. The ceaseless toil soon wears them out. At twenty they are old and ugly. Few live beyond the age of forty. The masai are divided into a number of clans, the symbol of which the warriors paint on their shields. The people live in villages with seperate encampments for the warriors. Before going out on their raids the warriors gorge themselves with blood and meat. The villages are set in a circle, within which cattle are herded and the huts, as we see here, are built of bent boughs plastered with cow dung. (KEYSTONE/Anonymus)
