Teeth necklace
Traditional healer Savador Chindoy is wearing a necklace of jaguar
teeth. The
beads and
feathers, the sweet leaves on his arms, and the delicate
motifs painted onto his face are a conscious and deliberate attempt to emulate the elegant dress of the spirit people who the shaman meets when he ingests yagé.
