The clay plate tradition is a sign that signifies the beauty and value of women in that community. The large the plate the more beautiful the woman is and the more bride price a Man will pay during Marriage. As a young girl approaches adulthood about 15 to 16 years of age, she is cut in her lower lip to form a loop-like ring of the lip muscles. It is extended and stretched with time as it heals to accommodate a small clay plate.
