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

Surma (or Suri) women, an ethnic group from southwestern Ethiopia, are known for wearing lip plates as part of a rite of passage and cultural symbol. Upon reaching adolescence, some women pierce their lower lips and gradually stretch them to accommodate clay or wooden discs. This adornment is seen as a sign of beauty, social status, and maturity within their community.

Among Surma women, piercing the lower lip to place a clay or wooden plate is a tradition deeply linked to identity, beauty, and social status. The lip plate is worn primarily during ceremonies, important visits, and moments of cultural representation, 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 the Surma people. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas - Fotograf
