Description
The Mursi, and the neighbouring Suri also known as Surma, are most famous for is their lip-plates, but they also have a rich tradition of scarification, body ornamentation and dress. Another well known aspect of Mursi body decoration is their body painting, although tourists and photographers rarely see the ââ¬Ërealââ¬â¢ body painting because the Mursi gain more money by ââ¬Ëdressing upââ¬â¢ for visitors.
