The Rendille people in the Northern Kenyan desert take great pride in their traditional culture, especially when it comes to ornamentation for both men and women. From elaborate headdresses to layers of beads stacked with precision, each item worn has a symbolic meaning that lets others know where that person is in life. Warriors in each tribe are recognizable through feathered headdresses, hair carefully styled with ochre, and beads draped across the chest. Women wear necklaces and earrings that let other tribe members know whether they are married or how many children they have, as well as their children’s gender.
