Amazonian girl, Mamiraua, Brazil

Note the little tattoo on her forehead... that was made of genipapo, as native indians in Brazil used to do. The liquid from a green fruit leaves its mark on skin for several days. The magic is that the liquid at first is clear so it is hard to know what one is drawing...
