EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1842, offers a glimpse into the traditional way of life of the Lengua or Juiadge people of Paraguay. The image showcases the distinctive physical feature of the Lengua people, their lip plugs or barbotto, which were made from various materials such as wood, animal bones, and shells. In the foreground, a group of male hunters are depicted, each armed with a bow, arrows, and a quiver. Their determined expressions and focused gaze suggest their readiness for a hunt. Nearby, a woman is roasting meat over an open fire, while another woman looks on. The use of wood and cowhide for constructing their huts is evident in the background, with one man shown sleeping peacefully inside. The Lengua people, also known as the Mbayá or Guarani, are an indigenous ethnic group that inhabited the eastern regions of Paraguay and parts of Brazil. They were renowned for their agricultural skills, hunting prowess, and artistic traditions. The lip plugs, a symbol of their identity and social status, were worn by both men and women, and were often made according to their age and marital status. This engraving offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the daily life and customs of the Lengua people during the mid-19th century, providing valuable insights into their rich cultural heritage.
