    What a stunningly beautiful portrait. Not only the obvious beauty of the model herself, but also the very photography itself: Tones, expression, DOF... Ms Makereti must have been an impressing woman herself her eyes speak of an extremely intelligent person.

    Prior to the arrival of missionaries in the Pacific Islands, the dress was an important expression of social status, political standing, and religious belief. Body art and clothing were key elements that helped people to socially locate themselves and others. The body was the main focus of the material expression. The body was tattooed, painted, and decorated with natural materials, dyes, and paints Source: fashion-history.lovetoknow.com/clothing-around-world/sout...
