Young Mursi warrior by

Many Mursi will put ‘anything’ on their heads to attract tourists, the first time its very overwelming to see the people like this. They mostly look or will look angry, like a warrior.
This young woman did not want a lip plate. So times are changing and now girls can refuse this very old custom. Omo Valley Nat.Park, Ethiopia.
