Description:

A Himba woman in traditional attire. Her body gleams from a mixture of red ochre, butterfat and herbs. Her long hair is styled in the traditional Himba way and is crowned with a headdress made of lambskin, called erembe. She also wears a round, white-beaded necklace, called ombwari, and down her back, a square decoration of metal beads backed on leather.
