The lip plate is primarily worn during ceremonies, important visits, and moments of cultural expression, not necessarily in everyday life. Many women complement it with white face paint, elaborate hairstyles, and handcrafted necklaces, creating an aesthetic that is a source of pride for their Surma identity. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas

The lip plates of Surma women (also called Suri), an ethnicity of southwestern Ethiopia, are disks of clay or wood that are inserted into the lower lip after a gradual stretching process. This practice, which begins in adolescence, symbolizes beauty, maturity and social status within your community. Although its meaning has varied over time, it remains an important cultural and identity expression. Quim Fàbregas - Fotografía y Viajes. #VisitEthiopia #OmoValley #travelblogger #Ethiopia #traveleth
