Body Art is something that has MUCH
appeal. I have heard much about Black
Africans painting themselves red. It is
fun to switch up looks like that and
shows how multifaceted(versatile) people can be.
THere’s so many creative pictorials to
be made.
First, I will let you know that
African body art symbolizes an
person’s status, spiritual beliefs, or
ethnic affiliation.
Second,
Here is the dress of Black African
tribes;
Hamar Bride is an agro pastoral tribe from
southwestern Ethiopia. This tribe is
Black African women dressing in skins
and pelts that have beads, cowries, and
metal on them.
Third,Shai, a Black African group uses
braiding as the main focus of their
rituals. Her headress is called cheia.
This particular hairstyle is made from
hoops of cane wrapped in blackened cord.
The headdress takes about 6 hours to finish
and will stay fresh a week long.
African body art is fantastic.Aww,
it is so so cute.
