A group at Damuneru. The man in the center is wearing a large boar’s tusk nose ornament. The boy on the left with the feather headdress was apparently the central figure of a ceremony, the purpose of which we were not able to discover and which was taking place at Damuneru on the day of our visit. He was elaborately oiled and painted for the occasion.
