Painted faces, scarred bodies, wooden guns and extravagant
headdresses:
Amazing photographs reveal the lost world of the Omo tribes of
Ethiopia
PUBLISHED:| UPDATED:
His face decorated with coloured clay and a crown of greenery topping his little head, the youngster belongs to one of the tribes living in the remote Omo Valley, tucked away beyond the towns and cities of modern life. This incredible set of pictures allows a glimpse into the lost world of the Omo tribes, who live peacefully and close to nature in one of the most far flung, yet beautiful parts of the world.

one of the tribes who call the Omo Valley in Ethipia home

Intricate:

The tribes people's way of
life is largely untainted by modern life, although the extent to which some
of the bleaker elements of civilisation are creeping into their world is
apparent in another photograph in which a young boy, his body and face
decorated with clay paint poses proudly with a toy gun made of wood.
The incredible photographs
which capture the way of life for the 200,000 tribal people who call the
lower Omo Valley home were taken by photographer Hans Silvester and have been
published in a new book: 'Natural Fashion: Tribal Decoration from Africa',
published by Thames and Hudson.
The book highlights the
ways of the Omo tribes who live close to nature with their painted faces,
scarified bodies and extravagant headdresses with plants and feathers
cleverly combined.
