Nearly 100 fascinating female portraits, ethnographic photographs, mainly early 20th century - women featuring permanent body art. An illustrated album in PDF ebook format for Acrobat Reader, with rolling slideshow functions and random transition effects between each image. Tattoos, scarification, ethnic piercings, lip plates, elongated earlobes and ritual body markings. Strangely erotic photos of nude and semi-nude women from South and West African fetish-worshipping tribes such as the Cerere None, Diola, Foulah, Soussou, Malinke and Dahomey, and from the North Africa Casbahs and harems - tattooed Arab, Bedouin and Moorish beauties. Dancers, witches and sorceresses, chiefs' wives, brides, village beauties.... An unusual ethnographic collection for amateur anthropologists, fans of ethnic curios, tribal magic and religion, ethnology, voodoo and vintage erotica. Postcards and old photos, including color tinted images. (Art corporel, tatouages tribales, feticheuses africaines, scarifiées, piercées.)
