The Yoruba tribal marks are scarifications which are specific identification and beautification marks designed on the face or body of the Yoruba people. The tribal marks are part of the Yoruba culture and are usually inscribed on the body by burning or cutting of the skin during childhood. The primary function of the tribal marks is for identification of a person's tribe, family or patrilineal heritage. Other secondary functions of the marks are symbols of beauty, Yoruba creativity and keeping mischievous children alive (ila Abiku). This practice was popular among Yoruba people of Nigeria, Benin, and Togo. During the trans-Atlantic slave trade, tribal identification and facial stripes became important. Some repatriated slaves later reunited with their communities by looking at facial strip

  • Stammeszeichen der Yoruba (yoruba: ila) sind Skarifizierungen, die zur spezifischen Identifikation und Verzierung im Gesicht oder auf dem Körper der Angehörigen der Yoruba angebracht wurden. Die Stammeszeichen sind seit vielen Jahrhunderten Teil der Kultur der Yoruba und wurden gewöhnlich in der frühen Kindheit durch Einbrennen oder Einschneiden in die Haut eingebracht. Die primäre Funktion der Stammeszeichen war die Identifikation des Stammes, der Familie oder des patrilinearen Erbes einer Person. Andere sekundäre Funktionen der Zeichen waren dekorativer Art und Ausdruck der Kreativität der Yoruba. Diese Praxis war bei den Yoruba in Nigeria, Benin und Togo sehr verbreitet, wird aber in neuerer Zeit nicht mehr praktiziert. (de)
