Description:
Small figurines can illustrate concepts of beauty. The arm bumps could be jewelry or they were created by cutting the skin and rubbing a substance into the wound. Indigenous skin forms a swollen scar when healed. These scars represent a beauty concept and/or a rite of passage. The belly flap indicates childbirth.
