LES HIMBA sont un peuple de pasteurs nomades de Namibie. Ils se parent volontiers de colliers en cuir et d'anneaux en laiton et enduisent leur peau d'une pate a base de beurre et de bois rouge . Les jeunes filles portent deux nattes epaisses, tressees vers l'avant du visage et redressees au dessus du front telles des cornes *** THE HIMBA are a nomadic people of Namibia.
