We visited the Samburu village near our lodge and met the chief and many other members of the village. The layers and layers of beads worn by these two young girls indicates that they have not married yet. The one on the right is 15 and about to get married. They are standing in front of their house made of found materials. Normally they would use cow dung but most of their cows were lost in the drought.The leopard above is yawning because we woke him up.
Your leopard hangs out in the treetops, and is on top of the food chain,I presume. Is he prey to any cooler cats around there?
ReplyDeleteIs that a beaded bracelet the betrothed is holding? Amazing craftsmanship! We need her to teach arts and crafts here at Camp Thunderbird.
ReplyDeleteYes, their beading skills are amazing and both men and women are covered in them head to toe. They also wear a kind of red tartan draped gown. Really beautiful people.
