A clapper. As the Samburu dance progresses in a wide shuffling/jumping circle the bravest of the girls will dart into the circle and pair up for the duration of the dance. The circle spins arround two or the main clapper and singers who keep up the rhythm. #africa #kenya #kurungu #kenya365 #samburu #tribe #warrior #dance #photooftheday #picoftheday #favorite #popular #red #feathers #mirror

Vanity; warriors typically carry a short sword, a spear or an Ak 47 and a little hand mirror for checking whether there is a hair or a feather out of place! They seem much more concerned with their looks than the girls are. #africa #kenya #kurungu #kenya365 #samburu #tribe #warrior #dance #photooftheday #picoftheday #favorite #popular

At the dance is about the only time the warriors and girls can mix socially in public. This particular dance was on the occasion of four girls being circumcised! Despite being outlawed in Kenya, FGM continues unabated causing untold agony and birthing complications among the nomads of North Eastern Kenya. #FGM #africa #kenya #kurungu #kenya365 #samburu #tribe #girl #warrior #dance #photooftheday #picoftheday

@elias16161 I'm not sure of her age. She has two kids (See the previous photograph), but I don't think she could be much past her teens. Anyway youth is not important out here in comparison to wisdom and experience.

The best man with red ochre in his hair, all dressed up for the wedding ceremony. The groom and best man take a long roll of fat freshly cut from the slaughtered bull and carry it in to the house of the brides mother. If the mother rejects the fat then the wedding is off! But she usually takes the fat, examines it and hangs it up in the hut. This is the Samburu equivalent of exchanging rings. The bride sits in the hut and does not participate in the ceremony at all. #Africa #Kenya #kurungu #kenya365 #samburu #tribe #warrior #red #fat #photooftheday #picoftheday # wedding
