"Moru woman with lip ornament" is a historical photograph taken by Richard Buchta, an Austrian traveler and photographer known for his work documenting the people and cultures of Central Africa in the late 19th century. The photograph is part of Buchta's extensive collection of ethnographic imagery, which provides a visual record of the diverse ethnic groups and traditional practices in the region during the colonial era.

The image captures a Moru woman, a member of an ethnic group primarily residing in what is now South Sudan. She is depicted with a traditional lip ornament, which is indicative of the cultural practices and beauty standards of the Moru people at the time. Lip ornaments, often in the form of plates or discs, were and in some places continue to be, a form of body modification used by various African cultures, each with its own significance and symbolism.

Richard Buchta's work, including "Moru woman with lip ornament," is significant for its ethnographic and historical value, offering insights into the cultural heritage of Central African societies. His photographs are some of the earliest visual records of the region's inhabitants and have contributed to the study of African cultures by anthropologists and historians. The image is also a testament to the era's photographic techniques and the challenges of documenting remote communities with the equipment available at the time.

The photograph is not only a piece of visual history but also serves as a point of discussion regarding the representation of African peoples by Western photographers during the colonial period. Buchta's images, while informative, are also reflective of the colonial gaze and the power dynamics inherent in the act of photographing colonized subjects. As such, "Moru woman with lip ornament" is an important artifact for understanding both the cultural history of the Moru people and the broader context of colonial photography in Africa.
