Laikipiak Msai

During an eunoto ceremony when Msai warriors become junior elders, their heads are shaved and they daub themselves with white clay

One of the most important Msai ceremonies is the eunoto when warriors become junior elders. Early one morning before the cattle are taken to pasture, their mothers shave their long ochred locks

Msai warriors resplendent with long ochred braids relax and wait for the start of a ceremony. Red has always been their preferred colour
