Adornment

An adornment is generally an accessory or ornament worn to enhance the beauty or status of the wearer.

They are often worn to embellish, enhance, or distinguish the wearer, and to define cultural, social, or religious status within a specific community.

[2] These include cosmetics, jewellery, clothing accessories, facial hair, fingernail modification, piercing, lip plates, tattooing, braiding, and headgear.

In Islamic culture, adornments have included caps such as the kufi and taqiyah for men,[4][5][6] and the hijab for women.

The principal adornment of these girls from the Bundu tribe in Sierra Leone is the adornment of bodies and faces with markings produced by the smearing on by the fingers of a substance called "wojeh", composed of white clay and animal fat.
