Mursi Man in Tusks 3995

The Mursi people of Ethiopia’s Omo Valley have been called “one of the most fascinating tribes in Africa.”

 

They are certainly photogenic!

 

These headdresses – made of two warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) tusks joined with iron fittings to a leather headpiece – are popular among men and women, and are even made to decorate cattle.
