Looking for period photos of Lobi

Does anyone have any period photos of the Lobi ethnic group (Burkino Faso region being mainly where they live).

I am particularly interested in period costume/dress, shields and spears.

Any photos or tips to point me in the right direction are much appreciated. To start things off here's one, of a chap wearing cowry shells and outfitted as an elephant hunter apparently. Given that the group had a reputation as fierce warriors I was hoping to turn up a little more than Google has been providing.
