Decades of colonization does not appear to have had much effect on the culture of the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania. Over 80% still live the same way they used to before the arrival of the European.

One of the least affected aspect of their lifestyle is the way they dress. Although broadly similar, the details in the dress code bear significant differences in the 3 main age categories, namely the uninitiated boys and girls, the young adults, called Morans if male, and the elders – mature women and men.

All these details in dress code are so accurately portrayed in Maasai sculptures, thanks to the improved sculpturing tools available today, that seeing the sculptures is like meeting the real Maasai.
