EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the Pokot tribe's cultural traditions. Known as the Koyogho ceremony, it symbolizes a man fulfilling his commitment to his wife's family by paying the remaining balance of the agreed dowry. What makes this ritual unique is that it can occur many years after the couple has already been married. In this image, we witness the culmination of the ceremony as the husband, adorned with striking body decorations and ostrich feathers, leads his wife through a joyous procession. The vibrant colors of their beaded belts and metal bells create a mesmerizing visual spectacle against their traditional attire. The Pokot people are pastoralists hailing from Kenya's East Africa region. Their rich heritage is evident in every aspect of this photograph - from their distinctive nose plates to their use of cheetah skin and wooden stools. Discover Images by AWL expertly captures not only an intimate moment between husband and wife but also provides us with a glimpse into an ancient culture that continues to thrive today. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how diverse our world truly is and invites us to appreciate and respect different customs and traditions across continents.
