The photograph depicts Tuareg man wearing turban and face veil (tagelmust) made of indigo-dyed cloth. "While men's face veiling and women's headscarves fulfill Islamic requirements of modesty, they are also symbols of the Tuareg cultural value of reserve. These headdresses are directly linked to concepts of the person and to changes in an individual's status throughout his or her life (Rasmussen 1992: 101)." [Arnoldi M., 1995: Wrapping the Head, Crowning Achievements, UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History].

"During the public performances of the bird decoy headdress, special hunters' music and songs of praise accompany the performers. Hunters often play the music themselves, using a special instrument made from a hollowed-out gourd attached to a wooden neck containing metal jingles. They also wear tall crested hats covered with cowrie shells to help distinguish themselves from other performers. Hausa hunters' bird decoys are thus elevated from being mere objects of utilitarian value to dynamic vehicles for cultural, popular, and even political meaning." [Burmeister A., 2004: The Bird is Faraway Meat: A Hausa Hunter's Headdress. See the Music, Hear the Dance, Prestel].

"During the public performances of the bird decoy headdress, special hunters' music and songs of praise accompany the performers. Hunters often play the music themselves, using a special instrument made from a hollowed-out gourd attached to a wooden neck containing metal jingles. They also wear tall crested hats covered with cowrie shells to help distinguish themselves from other performers. Hausa hunters' bird decoys are thus elevated from being mere objects of utilitarian value to dynamic vehicles for cultural, popular, and even political meaning." [Burmeister A., 2004: The Bird is Faraway Meat: A Hausa Hunter's Headdress. See the Music, Hear the Dance, Prestel]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Westinghouse Film and traveled to Africa from October 26, 1970 to end of March 1971.
