The Indian tribe where the women must have 'nose plugs'

Indian tribe where the woman must have ‘nose plugs’ fitted

Lodged in the sides of their noses, the black nose plugs stand out on the weathered faces of the Apatani women in Arunachal Pradesh, India.
These stunning photos are the work of Cezary Wyszynski, who was given unique access to photograph the women carrying out their daily lives. As their dark facial tattoos, the plugging of a Apatani woman's nose is a right of passage carried out once a woman has had their first period, marking them out as an adult.
