Antandroy man

Antandroy man wearing hat made from the pith of cactus pads. These traditional hats are now rare to see. The traditional houses are made from the Endemic Didiereacaea plants. These 'people of thorns' live in the 'spiny' forests of Southern Madagascar and are mainly cattle herders - their ancestors coming from mainland Africa.
