Stamp made from clay with a geometric design, which was pressed against dye then on the bodies of the Taino people, to decorate their skin, in the Museo Arqueologico Regional Altos de Chavon, in Altos de Chavon, a recreated European village built 1976-82 in La Romana, Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. Dyes for the stamps were extracted from plants such as mixa, custard apple and mangrove. The museum was opened in 1981 and is part of the Altos de Chavon Cultural Center Foundation, housing a collection of indigenous objects donated by Samuel Pion. Picture by Manuel Cohen
