Cain, Mark of

In the Bible, a mark placed on Cain's forehead by God after the murder of Abel to prevent Cain from being killed (Genesis 4: 15).

In popular understanding, its meaning has been reversed, and the mark is interpreted as branding Cain a murderer. According to Mormonism and other Christian sects, the mark placed upon Cain was a black skin. This was passed on to his descendents and was passed through the deluge by Ham's wife, whom tradition says was a descendent of Cain and was Black.

The end of a rattail comb was used to make a central part at the back of the head, resembling to many, the rear end of a duck. In addition, the hair on the top front of the head was deliberately disarrayed so that untidy strands hung down over the forehead.
