A Very Singular People, The Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Posted on Andaman Islanders, c. 1900
I have always had a fascination with the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, ever since I was young and read Arthur Conan Doyle’s
The Sign of Four, partially set in the Andamans. These days in my dealings with tribal art, I seldom come across objects from these far-flung isles, but when I do, they always hold a particular intrigue for me, no doubt due in part to Sherlock Holmes.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands form an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, between India to the west, and Myanmar, to the north and east. Denmark once governed Nicobar and then Great Britain; India now governs the islands since independence from Britain in 1947.
