La Tresse II

MR3793 · Kenya · 1968 image reworked by artist in 2020

Young Maasai girl measuring the length of her warriors braided hair before it is cut off. The warriors pass their days doing nothing - hanging around preening themselves. They spend hours plaiting their hair and panting their bodies or faces with red ochre.
