In this print captured by Nigel Pavitt, we are transported to the Rift Valley Province in Kenya, where we meet Tum, an old Turkana medicine man. With a warm smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes, Tum exudes wisdom and charm as he proudly showcases his traditional African attire. Adorned with an array of wooden necklaces and metal bracelets, Tum's body ornaments serve as powerful charms to ward off evil spirits. Each necklace holds its own significance, representing protection and spiritual guidance for the wearer. These intricate pieces not only showcase the craftsmanship of Kenyan jewelry but also reflect the rich cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations. As a respected shaman and fortune teller within his community, Tum possesses ancient knowledge and insight into the future. His presence is revered by many who seek solace or guidance from him. With years of experience etched onto his weathered face, he carries himself with grace and dignity. Through this photograph, Nigel Pavitt beautifully captures both the physical beauty of Tum's adornments and the intangible essence of his character. It serves as a reminder of Kenya's diverse traditions and cultures that continue to thrive amidst modernization. This image invites us to appreciate not only the aesthetics but also the stories behind these fascinating artifacts that hold deep meaning for those who wear them.
