The Toruń exhibition presents the body ornaments which Dzikowska acquired from said tribes – all characterised by richness of forms and diversity of natural raw materials. The explorer took several trips to and across Africa between 2004 and 2009. She went to northern Namibia to visit settlements of the Himba people. Ethiopia was her next destination, as she was interested in the tribes that live in the Omo Valley and its outskirts, such as Mursi, Hamar and Dassanach people, because of their compelling traditions and customs. Dzikowska gifted the Museum with interesting ethnic jewellery from that area. From her travels to Gabon, she brought also ritual masks of the Chokwe tribe, an anthropomorphic harp from the Fang tribe group and a valuable ancestor figure attributed to the Sango people.
