Woman with braided hair, Congo, ca. 1900-1915 Black and white lantern slide showing a Congolese woman with braided hair tied from her face with a cloth band, in Belgian colonial Congo Free State or post-1908 Belgian Congo (present day Democratic Republic of the Congo). She is bare chested, and wears two necklaces made of either string or leather. This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo-Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission Regions Beyond Missionary Union after 1900.
