Tombe. The man on the right is weaving an arm band of rattan. Around his neck is suspended the typical man’s bag decorated with boar’s tusks and having a piece of cassawary [sic] leg bone attached in front. Tucked under an arm band on his left arm is a bright colored flower. The men frequently ornament themselves by wearing flowers or bright colored leaves in this manner. The man in the center of the picture is playing upon a bamboo jews-harp. Clasped in his left hand is the case in which the instrument is kept. |
