Yela, senior wife of Fon, Banso, 1939-06
Scope and Contents
40 x 62 mm. Yela - the senior wife of the Fon. She was his first wife and has fallen into a little disgrace as she is rather free with her talk and says things that are considered 'risque'. Fon's wives are not supposed to think of risque things and far less say them. They are supposed to be dignified, servile, and have no feelings at all.
