Initiates Type:art printGroup portrait of young men and boys, pictured here a few days before their circumcision. They are wearing the traditional women's dress of black tanned goat skins and are carrying sticks from which they will make bows and arrows; the women's dress will only be discarded at the final ceremony forty days later.
