-The history of their clothes

Mussiro is a white, beauty mask   that is used especially by Macua women. The mask is made from mussiro wood. Women use it much like Western women use clay masks...because it is good for the skin. Macua women say it makes their skin soft and clear. But, unlike clay masks, mussiro is worn for hours and hours, sometimes days. Not only does the mask make the skin beautiful, but the mask itself is considered beautiful. And, because Macua women are known for using it, Macua women wear it to show they are Macua.
