This is a “Roko Bagadi” Azande attire, beautifully adorned with shell beads around the neck known as Amangburu or Azege. The knitted basket carried in hands is the Kiaga.
This unique attire is typically worn by young unmarried women and maidens at the king’s palace during traditional functions to beautify the place where the king sits. It can be made in different colors depending on the ceremony. This particular color is for traditional ceremonies (i.e traditional marriages, birthdays, thanksgiving).
The attire has a royal connection from back in the day where the dress was a formal traditional wear for many Africans.
