Showing jewelry - Ethiopia

The Hamar tribe is a tribe that lives in the south of the Omo Valley.

They are cattle herders but also grow some crops. As many other tribes they use scarification to make

themselves beautiful.

Scarring their bodies and packing the wounds with ash and charcoal.

The Hamar are well known for the "bulljump". A rite of passage where a young man has to jump a line of cattle to become a man.
