TRIPOLITANIA, WHERE ROME RESUMES SWAY 153 IOLY BANNERS OF A NEGRO FESTIVAL After the men have finished one of their ceremonial dances at the Negro mosque, the women form around the holy flags and two of their number pull the banners out of the sand and carry them off to the city (see text, page 140). Photographs by Gordon Casserly A NEGRO ORCHESTRA AT A RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL IN TRIPOLI The dancing is usually accompanied by the thumping of large hand drums which suggest gigantic tambourines. To the rhythmic heat of these instruments the Negroes still perform the symbolic dances brought by their ancestors from the Sudan.
