Hi fans and steemians.
Today happen to be my second trip to HAMAR TRIBE I found my self travel down in mood and spirit to the UNKNOWN WORLD, in the first instance I was so marveled at their beauty and mostly their adornment towards their body.
So I was carried away in the first instance by their gaze, and I picked up my sketchpad started the drawing and this will be the first time been drawn and captivated by beauty along the drawing I stopped drawing for a while.
I ask myself who is she and WHERE IS SHE FROM? This led to me to my deep research on this particular tribe called HAMAR.
Hamer tribe pay great interest to their appearance in particular to hairstyles that, just as an aesthetic element, are also a representative for identifying the marital status of a woman or the value of a man.
Married women use to style their hair in a braid bob, made red thanks to a mixture obtained with water, fat or butter and red ocher, these braids are called goscha and, in addition to indicating that a woman is married, they also indicate health and well-being and are a decorative item of beauty.
Hamer girls who are still single can style their hair as they prefer, they can keep it short or long, ocher or black and sometimes use extensions that are made with horsehair or donkey hair.
Thanks

Back on their men Jumping bull,which initiates a boy into manhood.
Mingi, in the belief of the Hamar and related tribes, is the state of being impure or ritually polluted.
A person, often a child, who was considered mingi is killed by forced permanent separation from the tribe by being left alone in the jungle or by drowning in the river.
This their custum and tradition has actually ruined my mood like I don't get what the beautiful or submissive in this kind of act looking at their back and those scary scars on their back made me speechless of their custom.
Custom are great though with their belief. I could see they found it beautiful having those scars on their back.
