EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dated 1849, showcases the distinctive faces of the Botocudo tribe, an indigenous community from eastern Brazil. The Botocudo people were renowned for their unique body modifications, including the wearing of wooden disks (tembetas) in their lips and ears. In the top half of the image, a Botocudo man gazes intently at the viewer with his piercing eyes and prominent tembetas. His strong jawline and defined features are accentuated by the contrasting light and shadow, highlighting the intricacies of his facial structure. Below the man, a Botocudo woman is depicted with a gentle expression on her face. Her tembetas are also visible, but her lips are adorned with a traditional Botocudo labret, a flat, horizontal lip plug. Her hair is styled in long, braided locks, and her skin is adorned with intricate tattoos, adding to the richness and complexity of her appearance. The Botocudo tribe, also known as the Botocudos do Sul or Botocudos da Bahia, inhabited the eastern part of the Brazilian state of Bahia and the western part of the state of Minas Gerais. They were a semi-nomadic people who lived in the dense forests of the region and were known for their fierce resistance to European colonization. This photograph offers a rare and valuable glimpse into the cultural practices and physical characteristics of the Botocudo people during the 1840s. It is a poignant reminder of the rich diversity of indigenous communities in South America and the importance of preserving their histories and traditions.
