This is a women from the Karo Tribe; The Karo Tribe are based in South Ethiopia near the east banks of the Omo River. The Karo people draw these designs on with chalk, charcoal, ochre and red earth. It is good to know what materials they use because I would want my look to be authentic. The women from the tribe scarify their chest to make them self beautiful
The Scarafication on this mans chest means that he has killed a dangerous animal or enemy. I've looked on mycourse and it says that we are going to be looking more into scarification in Lotties lesson I am interested to find out how to create it but also slightly nervous because I am squeamish. When Looking into this tribe I also found out that the Men will marry as many women as they can afford, but this tends to be about 2 or 3.
