TRIBAL AND FESTIVAL DOLLS (GAMBIA) - and more Gambia pictures

Here is a MANDINKA KANKURANGO TRIBAL doll and a JOLA FESTIVAL doll.  
These two dolls were specially made for me in Gambia (thanks to my kind Gambian friend, Seedy!)
I have also added a few more pictures of Gambia.
For more information about the above dolls, the Mandinka Tribe and the Jola Festival, please see the website.  Thank you.
