1. Title: "A Chukchi Woman of the Chukotka Region, Russia: A Portrait of Traditional Body Art and Adornment" This image depicts a Chukchi woman from the remote Chukotka region in Russia, showcasing her distinctive traditional tattoos and piercings. The woman's face is adorned with intricate geometric patterns on her cheeks and chin, as well as a vertical line on her left cheek. Her left arm is also covered in bold, dark tattoos, while her ears display piercings and the addition of beads. The Chukchi people, also known as the Tchutski, Tshutski, or Chukhs, are an indigenous ethnic group inhabiting the Chukotka Peninsula in the Russian Far East. Historically, they were a semi-nomadic people who relied on hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding for their livelihood. Their traditional culture is rich in art, music, and storytelling, with body modifications such as tattoos and piercings being an essential part of their identity. This engraving, created by Dell Acqua and hand-colored by Lazaretti, is taken from the "Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti" or "Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages," published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The work is based on the account of an expedition to the northern parts of Russia by Joseph Billings and Martin Sauers. The image offers a rare glimpse into the lives and customs of the Chukchi people during the early 19th century. The intricate tattoos and piercings of the Chukchi woman in this image serve as a testament to their unique and vibrant cultural heritage. These body modifications were believed to have various meanings, including protection, spiritual significance, and personal expression. Today, the Chukchi people continue to preserve their traditions, making this image an essential record of their rich history.
