Dinka Men in Beaded Corsets, South Sudan
Carol Beckwith
African Ceremonies
Friday Harbor, United States
Dinka men from South Sudan often walk through the cattle camps hand in hand. This physical touching celebrates their close bonds as age-mates. Their traditional corsets are color coded to show their status in life: a red corset indicates a young man 15 to 25 years old, while a yellow one shows he is over 30 years old and ready for marriage. 1979
