A Samburu boy in reflective mood after his circumcision. A day after the ordeal, he will hang in his pierced earlobes copper earrings normally worn by married women and put on a new headdress of ostrich feathers fastened to a narrow band of plaited fibre, which fits tightly round his forehead. Hanging from the back of the band are four strings of beads terminating in bead-like seeds or wood carved in the shape of a bead. His black cloak is made of goatskin.
