La fama di questa popolazione è derivata dalla pittura dei corpi ma anche dal piattello labiale. Le donne iniziano da piccole inserendo pezzetti di legno ed allargando il buco con piattelli sempre più grossi mano a mano che crescono; i piatti hanno una scanalatura che ne permette l'inserimento nel labbro inferiore o nei lobi delle orecchie e sono realizzati con argilla rossa o grigia e talvolta decorati con i graffiti, possono raggiungere un diametro di 20 cm e la grandezza è un elemento importante, infatti, più i piattelli sono grossi, più la donna viene considerata bella e coraggiosa. Non si sa di preciso il motivo di questa usanza, alcuni antropologi ipotizzano che servisse a scoraggiare il rapimento delle donne da parte degli schiavisti, mentre altri credono sia solo un elemento di bellezza.
