Hamer man in Turmi, south Ethiopia.
In the mouth: a gima, a piece of wood, to brush the teeth. I tried it,
it's very hard for 2 hours, and once you've got the mouth full of
blood, the stick is becoming efficient!
On his chest: a traditional drawing made with mud.

Drawing on his chest really looks like a shirt. Future summer trends in Europe ? ;)
