EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Henry Guttmann in the 1930s, transports us to a time when ancient traditions thrived within aboriginal tribes. The image showcases Doctor Horn, known as the Sanusi or Gqira (Surgeon) of his tribe, engaging in a sacred ritual called Ukulumeka – a ceremonial blood letting practice. In this mesmerizing scene, Doctor Horn is seen wielding an ox horn with utmost precision and reverence. With stones and leaves carefully arranged around him, he expertly performs the intricate procedure that holds deep spiritual significance for his people. As we observe closely, one can almost feel the weight of history and generations of wisdom resting upon his shoulders. The composition's monochromatic palette adds an air of nostalgia to this powerful snapshot from another era. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our world today. Through Guttmann's lens, we are granted access to witness not only Doctor Horn's role as a healer but also gain insight into African male roles and occupations during that period. This remarkable photograph from Fine Art Storehouse invites contemplation on the interplay between tradition and modernity while honoring indigenous practices often overlooked or forgotten amidst societal progressions. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual testament to humanity's diverse tapestry across space and time.
