Authentic intensively used lip dish from the Mursi from Ethiopia

Authentic intensively used lip dish from the Mursi from Ethiopia These dishes are carried by women of the Mursi and Suri tribe. It is a round disk of clay or wood that is placed in the lower or upper lip to stretch the lip. Each time a larger disc is placed, the hole in the lip becomes larger and larger. This is a particularly beautiful example made of sun-dried clay and worked on both sides! The larger the dish, the larger the dowry for the woman.
