Original tribes in Africa have strange customs-Why do Mursi women like big mouths?

The Mursi woman can put a plate more than ten centimeters in diameter in her mouth, holding her mouth wide.

How can they eat and talk like this?

The Mursi woman began practicing putting plates in her mouth when she was around the age of 10.

The plates have different models, all of which are fired from clay or made of wood.

Usually put it in your mouth and take it off when eating and drinking.

Before starting to put the plate in your mouth, you need to perform a minor operation. Use a knife to make an incision between your lower lip and your gums to separate your lower lip from the root of the tooth.

Then, put a small plate to open the hole so that it does not grow back.

Gradually replace small plates with large plates in the future. The lips naturally stretch out larger and larger, and the largest lips can be turned over to the head to cover the face.

This painful process accompanies the girl to grow into a woman.
