The women and girls wear flat neck collars made of beads threaded on wire and spaced with stripes of cow-hide. |
|  | The women shave regularly their own hairs to draw more attention to their colourfull jewellary. |
| | The married women amass their beaded necklaces as an expression of greater wealth. |
| | Some women wear surutias, brass coiled pendants. Those pendants proclaim that a woman has a circumcised son. She will lent the pendant to him during his healing period. |
| | Leather earflaps, like bookmarks, are only worn by married women. |

Also my dream to visit Africa one day | kyoub Mon Jul 9, 2007 12:40 UTC
Worth a second read. This is Africa you are discribing and not animals in a zoo. Very interesting. | grets Thu Feb 8, 2007 14:39 UTC
I had to smile at your comment: "Between all those animals we realised, it's reality ! We are in Africa now !" I feel like that every time! Going again in July, hoping to get to Ngorongoro. | matcrazy1 Sat Sep 16, 2006 00:45 UTC
Fantastic page and destination! Wow, those lions in the shade of your car luckily didn't do dance war... the lions are not very dangerous while driving a car, right? |
