This picture was taken in an Arbore village in the south of Ethiopia in the Omo Valley, nearby the Kenyan border. The Arbore is an ancient and beautiful tribe originaly from Kenya that migrated to Ethiopia tens of years ago. These beautiful Arbore women are single which can be demonstrated by their shaved heads covred with black scarfs and their multiple ankle bracelets. If a man wants to marry one of these beautiful women, he will need at least 30 cattle.
