The Pride of Ndoni
The Pride of Ndoni: A Titled Igbo Woman of the Niger, 1897
Behold a rare 19th-century photograph capturing a titled Igbo woman from Ndoni, present-day Rivers State, Nigeria, taken between 1897 and 1899. Her regal posture, adorned in traditional wrappers and elaborate coral beads, speaks volumes of her status, influence, and the rich heritage of her people.
