The lip plates worn by Surma (or Suri) women are one of the most striking and symbolic cultural features of southwestern Ethiopia. The lip plate is primarily worn during ceremonies, important visits, and moments of cultural expression, 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 their Surma identity. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas

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.

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
