Granddaughter of the Priestess
80x80 cm, oil paint on canvas This picture continues the series "Children of the World". Here I have depicted a girl dressed in the national costume of the warlike Mursi tribe, who still live according to primitive laws. This is a very characteristic African people from Ethiopia, where all important decisions are made by women. The so-called priestess of death is particularly revered. It got this name because of a very strange tradition. Every evening the women of the tribe give their men a drink that first makes them high and then practically kills them. But then the priestess of death gives everyone a different drink - an antidote. But it can happen that she doesn't give it to you. The wife of the deceased man then becomes a very respected widow and is not allowed to remarry. The painting is painted in the style of modern impressionism and can be hung on the wall with hooks.
