The women are dressed in traditional attire, adorned with intricate jewelry that reflects their rich cultural heritage. Their bodies are painted with various designs, adding an extra layer of beauty and significance to their appearance. The women in the photograph are wearing ankle bracelets, necklaces made of beads and cowrie shells, and rings on their fingers and ears.
