Heavy necklaces and long skirts from goat skins, which are richly decorated, are characteristic for the Nyangatom women. Necklaces were traditionally made from dry seeds, but these days they have been largely replaced with colourful glass beads coming from Kenya. The women also decorate themselves with ornamental scarification on their faces, chests, and bellies. Omo valley, Ethiopia, 2017.
