La Vieille

"La vieille" n'est pas du tout un terme méprisant, c'est un signe de reconnaissance, en Afrique.
Les scarifications du visage précisent l'appartenance à une famille. Cette coutume n'est plus en usage de nos jours.

" The old woman " is not a contemptuous term, it is a sign of gratitude, in Africa.
The scarifications indicate her membership in a family. This custom is not used any more nowadays.
