CMNF tribe from northern Peru
A local tribal chief with his wife from a local Indian tribe in northern Peru. Woman is naked as was the custom among the tribes, man has a loin cloth. As I wrote before, this custom (Clothed Male Naked Female) was very widespread among Indian tribes in South America especially in North-west Amazon (northern Peru, southeastern Colombia, northwestern Brazil). In North-west Amazon it was the custom of practically all the tribes in the area. All or almost all tribes in that area was CMNF (Clothed Male Naked Female) even in the first decades of the 20th century. The women and girls of all the tribes in this area were completely naked and all men were clothed and boys were clothed from the age of five. Most often in loincloths.
