The lip plates, also known as lip plugs are to enhance beauty. ETHIOPIA: MEET THE tribe where women wear face plates measuring up to twenty-four-inches wide to make themselves more BEAUTIFUL. One picture captured a woman in a floral headdress wearing an impressive 20-inch clay plate whilst another showed a woman's stretched and shrivelled lips after years of wearing the device. Other images show an elderly woman with stretched ear lobes and male members of the tribe keeping lookout from a tree. The snaps were taken by professional photographer, Sarawut Intarob (37) from Wanon Niwat, Thailand. @sarawut_intarob
