Hamar women sell local produce at Turmi Market. People travel there great distances on foot to attend this twice-weekly important commercial and social event. Goats, chickens, vegetables, fruit, spices, butter, eggs, tobacco and ochre are sold or exchanged for other produce.The Hamar are semi-nomadic pastoralists of Southwest Ethiopia whose women wear striking traditional dress and style their red-ochred hair mop-fashion. Skins are widely used for clothing and heavy metal necklaces, bracelets and anklets form part of their adornments. Cowries are also popular to embellish a woman's or girl's appearance.
