EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ole Senteu Simel, a remarkable figure in Maasai culture. As the grandson of the renowned Msai Laibon Mbatian, his lineage and wisdom were deeply respected by his community until his passing in 1986. Taken just three weeks before his death, this photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the life of this revered elder. Ole Senteu Simel stands tall and proud, adorned in traditional Maasai dress that reflects the rich cultural heritage he embodies. His fur cape, made from monkeyskin, adds an element of regality to his appearance. With piercing eyes that seem to hold ancient knowledge and clairvoyant abilities, he exudes an aura of wisdom and spiritual insight. The image showcases not only Ole Senteu Simel as an individual but also represents the indigenous Maasai tribe as a whole. It serves as a testament to their deep-rooted traditions and customs that have withstood the test of time. Photographed by Nigel Pavitt in Narok, Kenya, this powerful portrait encapsulates African tribal culture at its finest. It is a tribute to Ole Senteu Simel's legacy as one of Africa's most respected laibons – tribal leaders who possess extraordinary spiritual powers and serve as intermediaries between their people and higher realms. Discover Images by AWL presents this print as a celebration of African heritage and invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and significance embedded within indigenous cultures across our diverse
