A happy freshly circumcised Maasai girl, she is still in the healing process. Black dress and forehead jewels are typical for this brief status.
I know this kind of mutilation horrifies Westerners, me included, I don’t like broken toys , but the fight is not easy nor obvious. Maasai girls are ready for this ceremony like some white girls dream of their virginal wedding dress… how to fight this is open…
A Maasai lady bows to an elder who in turn pats her head, a typical Maasai way to show respect.
