It is a song that no one can resist."

Imigongo is textured art work featuring geometric prints.
As is so typical in Africa, local materials are used for the most imaginative arts and crafts.
Imigongo is created from cow dung applied to wood pieces, baked, and painted, in either black and white schemes or earth-coloured hues.
Apparently the dung of youthful cows is the best...
The dark green cow dung is taken by hand - in clumps - and molded into wood planks, like clay. Paint is then applied
A small factory might produce about 20 pieces a day.
There are the dung molders and then the painters...
Which one would you rather be..?
