A woman from the Musgum tribe, Cameroon.🇨🇲
The musgum, an ethnic group in far north province in cameroon, created their homes from compressed sun-dried mud. the tall conical dwellings, in the shape of a shell (artillery), featured geometric raised patterns.
A characteristic settlement form is the compound, a cluster of units linked by walls.The domed huts of the musgum people are built in shaped mud, a variant of cob. cob building is the most widely used technique in the world, since no tools are needed – hands, earth and water are enough.
