That's a possibility. The artist may have had wrong information. I am hoping to find out the truth

I asked Sangar about that custom that was attributed to Ghlijay women by that British man in the 1st post of this thread since he is from the Ghijlay tribe and he replied:

"That's nonsense. The ornament is called a "tik". And it is not made of dung and mud. But silver and other types of metal. And it is still popular among traditional kochi branches of Ghijlay tribe."

Lol Sangar was shy or embarrassed to post it himself? That was weird.

But thanks for sharing this great article with us.

lol Amna. No he replied to my question on my wall & he left before I could ask him to reply here in the thread. He also told me that it was very common for Europeans to make up crazy stories about tribal people. So now I am thinking that Lieutenant James Rattray might have been told wrong information about those ladies or might have made up the entire story.
