Benin. Near Boukombe. Somba women. Spears and fly chasers, male attributes, signal the new higher class of girls parading in their dikuntiri (initiation). Recognized as adults, they may formally join the husbands to whom they were legally married in childhood. They are crossing a harvested millet field under a sky whitened by the harmattan, a sand-loaded wind blowing from the Sahara to the north.
