Lip Plates
• To explain the picture before, “Lip Plates” are very common in many African tribes. At a very young age children would have these “plates”, which are made out of bone, inserted into their bottom lip to create a large gap. They keep this in until they gap is as large as they desire and then they change the plates every so often. Once these plates are inserted, the lip cannot ever be shrunken back to it’s normal size. These plates can range from any shape and size
This is a picture of a Surma woman with her lip plate taken out.
