Paints and Pigments

Product Description

Maasai paints and pigments are primarily natural materials, often sourced from the earth itself. The most common pigment used by the Maasai is ochre, a natural earth pigment that ranges in color from yellow to red. This pigment is derived from iron oxide and is used to paint bodies, faces, and traditional objects like shields and spears.  It’s a significant part of Maasai cultural practices, often symbolizing strength, courage, and connection to the land.
