Since earliest times, humans have decorated their skin in endless ways and for fascinating reasons. In a wealth of astonishing illustrations, Decorated Skin presents some of the finest examples of body art past and present, taken from all over the world.
A distinguished team of art historians, ethnologists and archaeologists provide enlightening commentaries to set the images in context, documenting the development of an extraordinarily broad spectrum of body art, and providing a panorama of body decoration throughout the ages.
