Descripción

Describes works created by the inhabitants of the Vanuatu Islands. The art created by the Vanuatu people is often based on male initiation rituals, men's secret societies, social ranking systems and the afterlife. Vanuatu's male sacred houses are oblong homes constructed using decorated coconut fiber binding. Personal ornamentation is an important practice for the Vanuatu people, who wear elaborate garments, practice face painting, nasal perforation, and puberty scarification of women's backs, which indicate, social status, beauty, and health and hygiene.
