About This Book
Body painting, scarification, piercing and tattoing - since earliest times, humans have decorated their skin in endless ways and for fascinating reasons. This volume provides some of the finest examples of body art past and present, taken from all over the world. Ranging from Australia and Papua New Guinea to the Americas, Asia and Africa.
A distinguished team of art historians, ethnologists and archaeologists provide enlightening commentaries to set the images in context, documenting the development of an extraordinarily broad spectrum of body art, and providing an astonishingly wide panorama of body decoration throughout the ages.
