A Hamar woman holds a tin trumpet at a 'Jumping of the Bull' ceremony. The Hamar are semi-nomadic pastoralists of Southwest Ethiopia whose women wear striking traditional dress and style their red-ochred hair mop-fashion. Skins are widely used for clothing and heavy metal necklaces, bracelets and anklets form part of their adornments. The 'Jumping of the Bull' ceremony is a rite of passage for young men. The climax to the ceremony in when the initiate leaps onto a line of ten or more of his family's bulls and runs along their backs; he must complete the feat twice in each direction. After the ceremony, the initiate attains full manhood and is permitted to marry. B0014P 0314 Nigel Pavitt 5 20051004 5 6 070213+0300 6
