EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Matses or Matis warrior from Brazil, adorned with intricate facial tattoos, labrets, and piercings embellished with vibrant macaw feathers and delicate snail shells. The image captures the rich cultural heritage of the Matses tribe, known for their unique customs and traditions. The warrior's face tells a story of resilience and strength, reflecting the deep-rooted connection between body art and identity within indigenous communities. Each tattoo represents a significant aspect of their life journey or tribal affiliation, while the labrets and piercings symbolize social status or spiritual beliefs. With his piercing gaze and striking adornments, this Matses warrior stands as a testament to the beauty found in diversity. His presence evokes curiosity about his people's way of life in the Amazon rainforest – an environment teeming with mystery and wonder. This handcoloured woodcut by Henri Hendrickx is part of Auguste Wahlens' renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World). Through this piece of artistry, we are transported back to 19th-century Brazil to witness not only its natural wonders but also its diverse cultures. As we admire this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it as well as honor the resilience and cultural heritage preserved by native peoples like these Matses warriors.
