A young Tuareg boy dips a
wet stick into a pouch filled
with ashes. Using the stick, he
decorates his eyes, darkening
his eyelids and eyebrows. Like
other Tuareg males, when he
wears his indigo-colored veil for
Dar Moulay, only his decorated
eyes show.
For special occasions, Aborigines
decorate themselves with paint
made from natural materials that
they gather, such as rocks and
roots. These materials are baked,
pounded into powder, and mixed
with water to make paint in shades
of red, brown, and yellow.
