Brief description: The Harakbut drew the lines with natural dyes directly on the body, as clothing and as a sign of respect to the beings that live in the forest. In this work the Harakbut lines used by men are shown. Historically these lines represent the rituals and the transition of the initiation rite for the ancestral festival called Sinë.
