The creator is Samba Guyeye, a Senegal artist from a family of talented inside glass painters. As for the subject matter, here is a quote (with a link) from the person who replied to me: "The subject is a Baye Fall; they are part of the Muslim brotherhood known as the Mourides; they often "self hit" with those sticks, and they are usually seen in Dakar wearing patchwork outfits: <a href="https://face2faceafrica.com/article/baye-fall" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://face2faceafrica.com/article/baye-fall" rel="nofollow">https://face2faceafrica.com/article/baye-fall</a>."</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, sorry for the poor quality pics on file.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]221230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221232[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221229[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
