Nuer scarification marks

Collection: pittriversmuseum.edwardevanevanspritchard
Description: A head and shoulders profile portrait of an initiated man with heavy lines of scarification on the forehead. The operation (gar) is a severe one which causes much blood loss, across the forehead from ear to ear. Boys were normally initiated between the ages of 14-16, and a group initiated during a number of successive years belong to an age-set. After initiation a youth is prohibited from milking, able to marry, gains a spear and an ox from which he takes his ox-name, and was able to go on cattle raids against the Dinka.
