Toposa Leather Skirt
The Toposa speak a mutually intelligible language with the Turkana of northern Kenya. They tend herds of goats and cattle in the remote and largely road-less eastern frontier of South Sudan. The vibrant colors and liberated motifs of this skirt are typical of Toposa bead work. Decorated leather skirts were once the daily dress of Toposa women but more recently cloth skirts have largely replaced them except for ceremonial occasions such as weddings and initiations. 24″ x 27″.
