Dinka Man Imitating Horns

Location: South Sudan

Photographer: Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher

At puberty a Dinka male receives a namesake ox after which he is named. He believes that he and the animal are one being. He trains the ox’s horns from calf-hood into beautiful lyre shapes, and emulates these shapes with his arms as he walks alongside his beloved personality ox.
