EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the revered King of the Mossi, also known as the Moro Naba or Mogho Naba, is depicted in regal splendor, seated on a throne in the heart of Ougadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso. The Mossi people, making up approximately half of Burkina Faso's 15 million population, are an influential ethnic group with a rich cultural heritage. The King, dressed in traditional attire, wears a magnificent cloak adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, signifying his royal status. He is bedecked with an abundance of gold medals, necklaces, and bracelets, further emphasizing his prestigious position. The year is 1926, a time when European colonialism was prevalent in Africa, yet the Mossi people managed to preserve their unique identity and traditions under the leadership of their monarch. The photograph captures the essence of African royalty and the unwavering resilience of the Mossi people. Their king, with a stern yet serene expression, exudes wisdom and strength, symbolizing the continuity of their ancient lineage. The image serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Mossi people and their unyielding commitment to their culture and traditions, despite the challenges they faced and continue to face in the modern world. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans/Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of the Mossi people and their monarchy. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage that makes up the fabric of our global community.
