Archeï XI. The niche (Ennedi, Chad).

sketchfab

The paintings adorning the Archeï XI recess forge a very dense composition within the YRD color space. Two pointed terminations distinctly characterize the heads of men and women in the Fada style. The narrative purpose behind this composition is palpable - it's not a fairy tale but a history unfolding through interlinked scenes. At its center, two men accompanied by two women, preceded by a child, move toward a group led by a child, consisting of two men followed by two women. This encounter takes place within the serene context of a campsite, where children and women sit nearby their lovely huts, equipped with household items. On the left, a large herd of cattle accompanied by their herders converge toward the campsite from outside to inside the recess.
