„Turkana, Kenya (Nigel Pavitt)“

by John Warburton-Lee Photography
Picture ID: 1a9df83
Description:

A Turkana girl's necklaces are well-oiled with animal fat and glisten in the sun. The use of red ochre has been copied from their Samburu neighbours and is not widespread. Occasionally, a girl will put on so many necklaces that her vertebrae stretch and her neck muscles gradually weaken. The partially shaven head is typical of Turkana women and girls.
