A young woman at the entrance to a Konso homestead in southwest Ethiopia. The konso have a great affinity for wood and stone; large tree trunks and branches surround every home, and special care is taken to select the most pleasing shapes for their entrances. The woman's skirt is typical of the style worn by Konso women and is made from thick cotton cloth, called buluko, weaved locally by men. Women will only help their menfolk to flatten the warp and weft by flaying the cloth.
