Image title
A tembu boy. Is seen here painted with white paint for the circumcision rite. Great patches of paint are scraped away over the eyebrows, allowing the natural brown skin to be seen. The blanket is also painted with white clay, and had to be destroyed at the end of the ceremony: An enemy could make strong "bewitching medicine" by means of it, it were not burnt or destroyed.
