Other Information:
In The Azande (London AIA, 1953 page 18) P.
Baxter & A.
Butt state that 'Azande have no specific tribal markings and they do not tattoo although they make elaborate keloid patterns all over the face and trunk.
This practice is common all over Zandeland, and particularly in the Belgian Congo.
Except under Arab influence, the face is not scarred.
Designs are painted with a pointed stick on top of the scarification pattern, in a mixture of mbiango juice and charcoal, which is a persistent dye..'
