The "white lady" and the "masked magician". The "white lady" has nothing to do with her South African namesake, who had seduced Abbé Breuil, or with a local representation of another, very adorned woman. Here it is a massive figure with a "round head" on which sits a feather (?). Opposite on the left is the face of a man wearing a white loincloth and whose body is decorated with a small diamond pattern. The whole thing is typically African.
