. In this print by DanitaDelimont. com, we are transported to the heart of Ethiopia's Lower Omo River Basin, where the Hamar tribal region thrives with rich cultural heritage. Amidst a crowd adorned in shimmering silver jewelry and vibrant traditional skirts, an awe-inspiring bull-jumping initiation ceremony unfolds before our eyes.
