interesting fact that they are very specific smell.
Maybe

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 – the donga.
Mursi
tribe woman has their own way to beautify herself. They judge the
beauty of a wide lower lip wear plate. If their mouth more wider, so
more beautiful him. Mursi woman who followed the tradition he
deserves to marry 6 or 1 year before getting married Mursi women have
to wear lip plates. These lip discs are made of
clay.
Women
should also pay attention to the local culture.
This
is because pretty not just measured by how thick make up is used,but
other things that make no sense.
For
the Mursi tribe in Ethiopia,
the epitome of
beauty instead of make up,
such
as powder,
and
lipstick,
but
her lips wide.The tradition known as 'Labret'
is done
by punching holes in the bottom lippiercing sort 1-2 centimeters
wide.
Then,
put
a kind of round disc in it.
Every
two to three weeks,

replace the disc with a diameter greater.This lasted untilhis lips
reached 15-25 centimeters in diameter.
This
tradition is usually done by women since the age of 13-16 years,
or
before the wedding.

As
seen in these stunning photographs, their trademark ‘saucer’ lip
plate (dhebi
a tugoin)
has become the chief visible distinguishing characteristic of the
Mursi and made them a prime attraction for tourists. A girl’s lower
lip is cut, by her mother or by another woman of her settlement, when
she reaches the age of 15 or 16. The cut is held open by a wooden
plug until the wound heals. It appears to be up to the individual
girl to decide how far to stretch the lip, by inserting progressively
larger plugs over a period of several months. Some, but by no means
all, girls persevere until their lips can take plates of 12
centimetres or more in diameter.
It
is often claimed that the size of the lip plate is correlated with
the size of a woman’s bridewealth. This is not born out by the fact
that the marriages of many girls have already been arranged, and the
amount of bridewealth to be paid by their husbands’ families has
already been decided, before
their
lips are cut.
Another
common idea is that the practice of cutting and stretching the lower
lip originated as a deliberate disfigurement, designed to make women
and girls less attractive to slave traders. This ignores the fact
that the Mursi themselves do not give such an historical explanation
and that the practice is confined neither to Africa nor to women.
Amongst the Kayapo of Brazil, for example, senior men wear a
saucer-like disc, some six centimetres across, in the lower lip.
Like
other forms of body decoration and alteration found the world over
(like ear piercing, tattooing, and circumcision), the lip plate worn
by Mursi women is best seen as an expression of social adulthood and
reproductive potential. It is a kind of ‘bridge’ between the
individual and society – between the biological ‘self’ and the
social ‘self’.
