The Turkana are one of the largest nomadic communities in Kenya, traditionally located around Lake Turkana.
Turkana women and men perform traditional dances wearing ceremonial costumes like these, made from animal skin and fitted with decorative beads. Here they are also wearing traditional beaded necklaces and coiled aluminium armbands
Like other Kenyan communities, the Turkana are known for their traditional high-jumping dance, during which men jump as high as they can.
The leg bells were made by a blacksmith from scrap iron sewn onto khaki cloth, and used for dancing by both men and women. Worn below the knee, they were used especially at wedding ceremonies.
Head ornament is an ornament used to stick into a mud pack coiffure to hold ostrich feathers. It has a number of deep holes formed of string topped with woven fine copper wire. It was made and used only by men.
