They preserve the thousand-year customs of their ancestors, they are not concerned about the problems of the civilized world, they do not know how to read and write. Representatives of this tribe are distinguished by short stature and wide bones. Men have practically no hair on their heads, and women create a variety of headdresses and unusual jewelry made from scrap materials, such as branches, dead insects, clams, and even parts of carrion that emit a corresponding odor. The Mursi tribe is distinguished by its particular aggressiveness and hostility, which manifest themselves both in appearance and behavior.
Most men of the tribe carry with themmachine guns that are obtained illegally across the border are mandatory, and those who do not possess such weapons are equipped with long sticks, the size of which is determined by the leadership of a man. Usually they kill the machine, and with the help of sticks they beat the enemy to a pulp to prove their superiority. Men are prone to alcoholism and are notable for their violent temper, so travelers who are going to Ethiopia are afraid of them. The Mursi tribe, whose photos strike modern people with their unique and at the same time awesome way of life, is the most unusual tribe in the world.
Both men and women paint theirbody unusual characters. Their main feature is the original rather creepy decoration of women's faces. From an early age, girls cut their lower lip, put in there wooden plates, the size of which increases every year. Later, during marriage, the wooden plate is replaced by an earthenware one, which wears the name “Debi”. This decoration is considered the main advantage of girls. The size of the plate can reach 30 centimeters. The Mursi tribe allows women to remove the plate only in the absence of men. There is an opinion that women specifically crippled themselves in such a way as to become unattractive and not become the property of slave owners. However, today the presence of a similar ornament in girls is a symbol of beauty, the bride price in their size depends on their size.

They are created with the help of cuts in which the larvae of various insects are pushed. Since the body is completely unable to cope with the larvae, it is fenced off by scar tissue, creating bizarre patterns. In addition, women of the tribe create strange and creepy necklaces made from the phalanges of human fingers.
