Portait of a young woman from the Turkana Tribe of north western Kenya, surrounding the expansive shores of Lake Turkana.
The massive stacked rings of multi-coloured glass and ceramic beads around her neck signify social status, wealth and marriage eligibility. The leaf-shaped metallic elements and heavy rings hanging from her earlobes are crafted by local blacksmiths using brass or copper.
