Abstracts

EN

The artistic traditions of Brazil's Indigenous peoples are rich and deeply symbolic, manifesting in various forms of expression, including body painting, pottery, basketry, ornaments, tools, decorative objects, hunting and fishing gear, and musical instruments. These artworks are crafted from natural materials found in their surroundings, such as vines, leaves, bark, seeds, feathers, and animal teeth. This study aimed to explore the richness of visual poetry and the artistic creation processes of certain Indigenous peoples in Brazil, with a particular focus on body adornments, including headdresses, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings.
