The Mursi tribe are an African tribe from the isolated Omo valley in Southern Ethiopia near the border with Sudan. There are an estimated 10,000 people in the Mursi tribe. The Mursi are sedentary rather than nomadic. The Mursi have their own language called Mursi, which is classified as one of the Surmic languages. The Mursi have a reputation for being one of the more aggressive African tribes and are famous for their stick fighting ceremony donga.

Can you tell me who took the second photograph, the one with the horns and beads?
Possibly where I could view more of his work?
Thanks
my prayer for them is may God open their eyes so that they can know him before his return to the world.these people really need to know GOD.
Elisha… (In my modest opinion) Dont think that you understand something of this pictures. Images are not the emanation of the truth, the reality.. even they (pictures) are not a representation.. at the most they are a simple drawing with colonialist and etnocentric colors!
BEATIFUL PICTURES!!! THanks !
these pictures where made by a tourist. these bodypainting where made for the tourists. what the boys have on their heads are cattles garments, not made for human or rituals… they put them on their heads only for the pictures and the money the tourist has paid for. you can search for a documentary made by ZED productions in 2014, you will understand what hides beyond this actual falsified culture of the Omo peoples.
