About woman's customs. SURUMA tribe is famous for "Lip Plrate". Women of SURUMA tribe cut one's lower lip before marriage. They put on a plate in a lip. The plate was made from mud, and it called "SIGISRO". It is a small plate at first, but it becomes a big plate gradually. This process has special meaning. If woman marry when the plate is big, woman can get a lot of cow.Men of SURUMA tribe say "Woman with a big plate is the most beautiful"
Woman must not take it off in front of man!! Woman can take it off when private time and only in front of other women. The lip plate is connected with stick fighting.
