When this staff finial was made, the Congo was ruled by a rapacious colonial power, Belgium. Belgian rule in the Congo (1885–1960) began with King Leopold II’s brutal, private "Congo Free State" (1885–1908), notorious for atrocities, forced labor, and millions of deaths for rubber profit. It became a formal Belgian colony in 1908, marked by a "colonial trinity" of state, missionary, and corporate control, focusing on resource extraction until independence. The tribes of the Congo were in turn ruled by their own leaders who demanded regalia to assert their power and authority over others by the use of chief staffs, etc. This is one example of such artwork.

after the dabbled damage his stare was vacant- already long gone any affection from consequence as if anger had taken the wheel and called it purpose. violence moved fast- careless with a colourless aftermath leaving grief to leak out later through tightened Irresponsible hands amid inflated silence.

Ooh, these are fancy! 😱
I don't wear a lot of jewelry, but I'd definitely make an exception for a parure.
I do have noble ancestry (Spanish). Perhaps, if I dug through my genealogy deep enough, I could claim one. 🤔

Here she is. The Stoke-on-Trent Centenary Mace. Made from Staffordshire bone china, ultra-high temperature advanced ceramics, jesmonite and platinum.
It was such an honour to make this for the home of English ceramics on their 100th year.

A red dress is loaded on the sewing machine, with narrow dark blue ribbon already applied, and narrow lime green ribbon in the process of being sewn down to the dress.
Finding out why ribbon skirts start at $80 for a simple, straight design with an elastic waist. I’m going to have to smudge this when I’m done, from all the goalie language aimed at the ribbon. Yikes. #NativeAmerican #RibbonSkirts #regalia #sewing #anxiety
There will be no traditional #levelup in #Baroom: you upgrade many things similar to #soulslike games with your obtained resources (such as Nanites or Blood), but your influence on the world results in having a #Tarot #Arcana Status, that depicts your "danger level" and works as a #regalia

Annual Mexica new year celebration held in March. A young woman stands with a traditional rattle in her right hand looking to the right of the frame. Her hair is in a tight bun at the nape of her neck. Her regalia covers her chest with intricate straps going up her shoulder. Black feathered armor is attached to the upper arm and wrists. Her hips are covered in a skirt with detailed pattern at the waist and a large design on front. Ceremonial face paint is swirled from the corner of eye down along the neck.
It's more than just a dance
Celebration of the Mexica new year.
