Sketches from Spirits and Headhunters: Tribes of the Amazon











































I saw an amazing exibit of Amazonian tribal art at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The second image is of a kind of voodoo doll. All the others are sketches of masks-- the last being masks with full body costumes. What you don't see is the electric colors of feathers used in most of the pieces.
