Description
This appears to be a specific type of body modification called CICATRISATION, using irritating juices on the wound to make permanent blisters.
From an Original Vintage Photograph Lantern Slide of African Tribal Scarified Woman, labeled as "Tatooed Woman" and is from the Bureau of Visual Instruction Chicago Public Schools.
A fabulous strong portrait, in beautiful black & white tones.
Not sure of the tribal affiliation, as many Tribes have used these methods of body modification.
Some of the Tribes and areas of Africa are the Yoruba, Kaleri, Nuba, Karo, Boni, Ethiopia, Sudan, West Africa.
