"A group of men from the Hamer tribe surround a boy whos stepping into adulthood. They have a metal rod tying sticks around it as part of a bull ceremony. The metal rod is being blessed for the boys future wife. In Hamer culture women wear a metal rod around their neck as a blessing for fertility and prosperity; if she is the first wife the rod includes a phallic symbol.
