A pair of well armed Karo men – Omo Valley, Ethiopia. The tribal men living in the Omo Valley find two items indispensable…items that they carry with them at all times – a gun, and a stool. The guns are mainly for effect, but the tiny stools are actually used. Most men carve their own stool, and many of them are elaboratedly incised. I was so impressed with the stools that I bought a couple of them right from under their owners.
