Amidst the quince tree's fruity fragrance and Cydonia oblonga's serene presence, we delve into an intriguing cultural rite. The Pokot tribe's initiation ceremony, Ngetunogh, unfolds as African bowstring hemp (Sansevieria hyacinthoides) masks conceal the faces of young boys, clad in goatskins. Their journey begins with blessings from elders, smearing animal fat on their masks. Armed with bows, they endure seclusion for two to three months. Finally, they emerge, a rare sight of unity and strength, celebrating their transformation, accompanied by the elusive klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) in the wild.
