What is with the odd looking rib cages; I guess these are torture burn/whip marks, as they don't look like regular ribs at all?

Ah I was wondering as well if the scarification was a common practice amongst the aboriginal peoples of Australia. Thanks for that!

Look like scars

I think it might be ritual scarification, but it could be torture marks as well. I'm not well-versed on this period or region of history.
