Embera man by Jarek Wilkiewicz
Embera indians live in remote province of Panama called Darien. It is here where the Transamerican highway has a few houndred km gap. The people here paints traditional signs on their skin with a fruit juice caled “kipara”. Paintings stay on their skin for over a week. Little villages are surrounded by dense joungle cut neetly by the web of rivers. They feed themselfs by coultivating rice, platanos and yuca, also by fishing.
They are one of the nicest people Ive ever met in my life

Drum, ca. 1st century
Unknown, Nasca (Peru)
-Materials: Ceramic
-Length: 45.1 cm • Diameter: 25.4 cm
-Other Notes: “Ceramic drums with central, bulging sounding chambers were made in southern Peru at the turn of the first millennium. Among the most elaborately finished are those of Nasca style. A favored form was one in which a fat-bodied figure was worked into the shape of the instrument. The figure is depicted atop the wide mouth of the drum, over which a skin would have been stretched. The image is symbolically complex; a snake emerges from under the figure’s chin and a killer whale outlines each eye. The killer whales are in profile and show the ‘two-tone’ color differentiation normally given them in Nasca depictions. A headband is wound around the head and tied to form a hornlike projection on the forehead. In back, the figure’s hair is shown as serpents with long tongues.”
