The image above is an Iplehouse Ashanti photographed by Flickr user CustomLovers. The photographer captioned the picture “Dressed as my mother used to.” I found that caption to be quite interesting as the doll as picture strongly resembles a Himba woman.
The Himba are an ethnic group of about 20,000 to 50,000 people living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene region (Wikipedia). I have included an image of a Himba woman after the jump. If pictures of real, live, naked women offend you, you might not want to proceed.
