Then one comes to section reserved for the with the dyes. Tribal people always obtained their dyes from the nature. the origin of the different colour are displayed with the help of photos. With the arrival of artificial dyes, most of vegetable dyes were not in use ny more and gradually they disappear without any written formulas.
