I have broadened my research to the tribes of the Omo Valley, the Surma Tribe being one of them! And I am now going to look at the type of accessories these tribes wear.

This girl's bottle top headdress is incredible, it must have taken her ages to collect all of those and put them all together like that!
This image is beautiful. The headdress looks like a mane, so many different materials have been used to put this together. Love the tusks!

The tribes of the omo valley seem to wear a lot of these small wooden beaded necklaces, layer upon layer. I love the headband in the image above it is really striking especially alongside this man's face paint. I also think this tribesman's headpiece is really interesting; it looks like a wig.
Antlers as a hat! why not? It makes this tribeman look powerful, he has an air of importance about him.
