Standing proud in the savannah with their red blankets and painted shields， the Maasai people are one of the widely known symbols of East Africa. Their unique style， as remarked by Karen Blixen， author of Out of Africa， “has grown from the inside， and is an expression of the race and its history.”
The Maasai are a semi-nomadic group in Kenya and northern Tanzania， wandering in bands and living almost entirely on the meat， blood， and milk of their herds. Over the years， the fearless tribesmen have stood strong against slavery， and resisted the urging of the Kenyan and Tanzanian governments to adopt a more modern lifestyle. In fact， they are one of the few tribes that have retained most of their traditions. Up until recently， the only way for a Maasai boy to achieve warrior status was to single-handedly kill a lion with his spear.
Maasai clothing varies with age， gender， and place. The most recognizable piece of clothing is the shikà， a sheet of fabric worn wrapped around the body. Red is a popular color， and women generally opt for checked， striped， or patterned pieces of cloth. Young men wear black for several months after their circumcision， a ritual signifying their coming of age. A Maasai warrior is rarely seen without his spear and shield. In Blixen’s words， “their weapons and finery are as much a part of their being as are a stag’s antlers” (a male deer’s horns).
Beadwork is an important part of Maasai culture. Beaded jewelry is made by women， and is famous for its complexity. Natural materials such as clay， shells， and ivory were used before trading with the Europeans in the 19th century. They were then replaced by colorful glass beads， allowing for more detailed beadwork and color patterns. Multicolored beadwork is popular among both men and women. Each color holds a special meaning: White stands for peace， green for land and production， while red—the most favored color among the Maasai—is the symbol of unity and bravery.
Which of the following pictures best represents the image of a typical Maasai warrior?
