loic brohard 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Many thanks for viewing and rating + comments/suggestions if any. Another photo from an Himba. Himba women are covering themselves with a mixture of butter fat, ochre, and herbs to protect themselves from the sun. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. The mixture symbolizes earth's rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life. Women braid each others hair and cover it in their ochre mixture.
