UGONACHOMMA (THE EAGLE SEEKS OUT BEAUTY) BY UGO ART FILMS. Igbo African Renaissance Art.
This young African Goddess is a beacon of cosmetic artistry. Her hair is molded into an intricate composition of braided fringe and mirrors. Using a stain derived from indigo uli, assistants have covered her body with minutely detailed body painting. Rows, or rectangular marks cut into the skin of a young woman before marriage, lead down her torso. She holds a mirror that suits the Western notion of cosmetics-from the neck up-while her entire body has become a cavalcade of cosmetology. This Igbo Goddess served as a centerpiece in a competitive dance display.
