The skin () comprises at least a translucent elastomeric layer () composed of a pigmented plastic material and comprising at least one first portion () which is configured to be placed in front of a light source (). The light of this light source () produces an image on this first portion () of the translucent layer due to the presence of a surface relief () on the surface of the translucent layer (). A clearly visible image can be obtained by providing even small differences in thickness of the translucent layer () when the pigmented plastic material thereof has an average spectral attenuation coefficient (&#x3b1;) of between 1.0 and 25 mm. The difference in layer thickness (d&#x2212;d) and the average spectral attenuation coefficient (&#x3b1;) should moreover be large enough to meet the formula: &#x3b1;(d&#x2212;d)&#x3e;&#x2212;In a, wherein a is equal to 0.50. Since the surface relief () can automatically be produced when moulding the translucent layer () against a mould surface, the image can easily be obtained in the correct position on the skin ().
