Two Sebiri Papuans visiting at Albatros[s] Camp. The figure on the left illustrates the manner in which the hair is coiled on the head and wrapped with rattan. Across the forehead is worn a fillet of cassowary feathers. Between this and the coiled hair is a double row of cowrie shells. Across the forehead is a band of beadwork. The structure in the rear is a raft for bathing purposes constructed by the Dyaks in camp.
