Description
Maasai people wear lots of red. These girls see a lion in the distance and one whispers in the Maasai tongue "clo' ki taque de anime" (Don't wake the lion). One of the largest canvases exhibited in the exhibition - Maasai Women A Chapter Celebrating Diverse Expressions in Realism, in Baltimore, MD, 2006. Exactly why these girls are traveling so near the lion is not known. Lions only kill when either it's time for dinner or when something threatens their whelps.
As I look in the background it appears that this lion has made a kill and is protecting it from hyenas. Maybe, they understand this lion is one who came from Daniel's lion's den and have little fear. Notice the blue over their head. ( Heavenly Providence - a lion's meal and the daughters of men's protective angels ). Soft movement of the feathers and the line of their garment from lower left to middle of the picture, leads us to the relaxing lion.
