Personal Adornment: Characteristics: The body can be transformed in both temporary and permanent ways: painted, tattooed, scarified and marked in a variety of ways. The adornment of the body indicates status, personal and group identity. Often done to beautify, complement, and enhance the body, sometimes for spiritual empowerment.

Nuba Body Painting Characteristics: Nuba peoples are found in southern Sudan and are hunters. Painting primarily done with yellow and red ochre but white and black are also used. Practiced by men and colors and designs reflect membership in particular age grades and family. Designs inspired by nature and contain characteristics of local plants and animals.
