This is Senegalese Sufi street art of Ahmadu Bamba, one of the most popular Sufi shaykhs of 20th Century West Africa. The image was inspired by a famous photograph of the shaykh, the only one of him in existence. I was in Senegal a few years ago, and it is virtually impossible to find a restaurant, shop, or taxi that does not have his image.
