Antandroy woman

Antandroy woman. The braided and knotted hairstyle is typical of these people. Their 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.
