Postcard
The Hamar (or Hamer) are a tribe
inhabiting southwestern Ethiopia. They are cattle herders and practice
agriculture. They will stay for a few months wherever there is enough
grass for grazing, putting up their round huts. When the grass is finished,
they will move on.
The Hamar practice various rituals like the bull
jumping as a rite of passage for the man, whose female relatives demand to be
whipped as part of the ceremony. This is extremely painful and causes severe
scaring on the women.
Stamps
Definitive stamps Menelik Bushbuck (2002). In Ethiopia
two types of Bushbuck can be found: Meneliki and Powelli. Both are fairly
widespread and can be seen in much of Ethiopia's highland forest.
Thx one more time Steve!
