This is the village primary school math teacher (center) his wife, right, her sister (left) and son. I ask people to represent themselves in whatever manner they want. I have *no idea* who the idol is (it is likely a Bakuba king), but I love the whole gestalt of the photo.

I'm torn which I prefer, the color or BW versions. While the color captures the characteristic bright tones of Baluba women's clothes, the BW version seems to trim it down to the essential: their expressions and stance.
