Regarding the Ancient Art of Henna... Ornamenting the skin with henna is among the world's oldest known art forms. A paste is made from the henna plant (Lawsonia Inermis) and applied to the skin in a wide array of intricate designs. The ancient cosmetic and healing practice”known as Mehndi”is still widespread among cultures in North Africa, Asia and the Middle East. In today's Western world, there has been a great resurgence in the use of henna, and Luna's Henna guitars are a tribute to this ancient feminine art form.
