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

These lip plates are usually made of clay or wood and range between 4 and 25 centimeters. Before a lip plate can be applied on the lip, two or four teeth would have to be removed before the lower lip is cut to fit the lip plate. This lip plate process is usually done by a child’s mother when she attains puberty. To stretch the lip, a ceramic disc is placed after the cut and will remain until the initial cut has healed before it is placed with another slightly larger disc. Surma / Suri tribe, Omo

The Surma (or Suri) women of Ethiopia are renowned for their cultural practice of inserting lip plates into their lower lips. These plates, known as "dhebi a tugoin," are clay or wooden discs placed in a piercing made in the lower lip. The tradition involves young women having their lip pierced, followed by the progressive insertion of larger discs as the wound heals. #inspirationafrica | Quim Fàbregas
