Coded Clothes

This display shows a special selection of adornments from RAMMs World Cultures collection. What do your clothes say about you? All over the world people strive to transform and beautify their bodies with permanent and temporary adornment. For many communities it is an integral expression of the traditions, nationality, status and spirituality through which people define their personal identity and place in society. For others, its to attain an ideal of beauty promoted by their society, or to deliberately reject that ideal in order to pursue individuality. , Visit RAMM website,
