Portrait of a Herero woman (Namibia). This image is one of over 200 large-format photos featured in the HUMANKIND limited-edition book: https://robertopazziphoto.com #book Herero are an ethnic group inhabiting parts of Southern Africa, primarily in Namibia. They are a relatively small ethnic group in the broader context of southern Africa, with an estimated population of around 250,000 to 300,000 in Namibia, where they are the largest ethnic group. Herero are traditionally cattle-herding pastoralists who rate status on the number of cattle owned. Women are known for their distinctive clothing, which includes long, Victorian-style dresses. These dresses are often brightly colored and feature large, voluminous petticoats. The headgear, known as the "Horned Headdress" or "Otjikaiva," is also an iconic element of Herero women's attire, resembling the shape of cattle horns. The Herero people have a complex history, which includes a period of German colonial rule in Namibia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This colonial era was marked by conflict, oppression, and the Herero and Nama genocide, in which a significant portion of the Herero population was killed.
