The white plaster muzziro is that women are put on the face as makeup, for treating the skin, remove seeds from the face or relieve fevers. It comes from a root (called muzziro) that is rubbed against a stone, mix with water and left the night before the layer applied to the face. The result is a spectacular contrast of ghostly white faces on black ebony. You'll see it along the coast, especially in the fishing villages, like in Paquitequete.
