Pokot Youths

Pokot Youths

MR2173 · Kenya · 1968

Generally, Pokot women wear colourful necklaces, beaded headgears, brass jewellery and big loop type earrings, whereas men wear just a few wrap garments, cowhide capes and shirts. They use beaded skirts to distinguish those females who have been initiated from those who haven't. Pokot warriors also exhibit red clay on their hair and special headgears of feathers.
