Fon of Banso, 1940-09
Scope and Contents
62 x 40 mm. Whilst awaiting the arrival of the Chief Commissioner, the Fon sat under his umbrella in the Old Market whilst the Chindas danced the Samba in the distance. Between the Chindas and the Fon danced the Kebai and here Fai Ndzendzen is seen prancing up to salute the Fon. The other Fais swing their posteriors to a constant chant of 'Oooh-OOOO'.
