Facial Scarification
Pilgrims from Nigeria not donning the white robes.
Notice the facial scarification of the tall lady. Scarification is a test of courage as it is quite painful, and requires great personal strength to get through the procedure without crying out in pain. It is also a means of establishing tribal identity and a way to enhance physical beauty.
