A man of the Luluwa tribe - and a figure with scarification marks
It is very normal, when doing a figure that shall look like a human, that they are made with tattoo designs. This can be seen a lot of places in Africa, among the Maoris and Inuit. Some of these figures are very old, so the tattoo tradition also has to be very old.
