this is a woman wearing a lip plug in northern ghana. a lot of the time, the lower lip gets stretched out so much that the lip will hang down which results in exposure of gums and teeth. i believe that for boys the lip plug symbolizes manhood, and for women it can either be just a decoration, or it tells about their noble social status. i don't know if it's the same for all cultures though.
