English: Elaborate hairstyling, Congo, ca. 1900-1915
Français : Photographie noir et blanc montrant 3 femmes Mongo aux coiffures élaborées, faites dans le contexte de l'époque coloniale du Congo belge (République démocratique du Congo). La coiffure luba traduisait l'histoire, le statut et la profession d'une personne. Les femmes plus âgées de ce groupe portent des scarifications géométriques (dont sur leur menton), qui étaient courantes en Afrique pour désigner le statut, l'histoire, le groupe ethnique et accentuer la beauté. Pour les femmes, la capacité à supporter la douleur de la scarification a aussi été considérée comme un signe d'une capacité à endurer les dangers de l'accouchement. Ces signes contribuent aussi à la socialisation, qui selon la légende de l'image a mis l'humanité au-dessus du règne animal. Chaque femme porte un court collier de cou.
