TRINKETS TO OUTWIT EVIL |
|
AINU GIRL'S TATTOOED LIPS |
Wearing numerous heavy earrings, this Garo woman believes that after death
the devils who wait to devour her soul will fight instead for the rings,
while she makes good her escape
|
|
Her disk-sewn neckband and rope of beads are the chief pride of this
Ainu maiden whose grotesque tattooed mustache cannot quite destroy her
ingenuous youthful charm

AN ARAB ARISTOCRAT |
|
DECORATIVE FASHIONS OF NEPAL |
|
Beduins of the desert, of whom this man is one, are the old aristocracy
of Irak's Arab population, disdainful of the degenerate ways of their
settled riverain kinsmen
|
|
All well-to-do Nepalese women are lavish in their display of trinkets;
many of them delight in heavy silver necklaces and nose ornaments of gold,
brass, or silver
