Hairstyle Indigenous Dreadlocks Ecuadorian Natives
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of men with an extraordinary feature - sheeps heads. These remarkable individuals, whose hair, beard, and eyebrows are replaced by soft sheeps wool, were stumbled upon by two American missionaries deep within the heart of Ecuador. Recognizing their uniqueness, the missionaries brought them to America where they have since become skilled musicians. The image transports us back to 29th December 1923, offering a glimpse into the fascinating indigenous culture of Ecuador during the 1920s. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. These native men proudly display their distinctive hairstyle resembling dreadlocks made entirely of sheep's wool. Their striking appearance serves as a testament to both human diversity and nature's boundless wonders. Preserved by Central News, this photograph is part of Europeana Photography collection and provides valuable insight into cultural exchange between continents in the early twentieth century. It reminds us that even in remote corners of the world, there exist hidden treasures waiting to be discovered
