The same as in modern cultures, among my diola Casa ancestors people needed symbols to demonstrate their social position and richness. Small shackles (handcuffs for feet) I hold in my hand represented the head of cattle the person wearing them had, or his slaves. The small plaits made of rice fabric and the chains… well, regarding chains, I let your imagination wonder. All this and more can be learnt by visiting the Diola Casa culture and animist Impluvium Museum of Mlomp
