We were most affably greeted and given similar chairs, presented
with a ram, and given beer. The Fon is wearing a blue denim tunic
over a heavily embroidered Bali-type gown. Two ivory horns were
sounded by two women - one called Esther, a princess, and one
wearing a chaplet of white beads, evidently a Fon's wife. Yet
another - also with a white bead chaplet - is serving him wine
from a calabash with a raffia-palm leaf stopper.
