Two pigmy men from Aeimama visiting at Tombe. The man in the foreground is wearing the boar’s tusk nose ornament and a cuirass of neatly woven rattan. Most of the pigmy men own a cuirass of this type which is worn on foraging expeditions and sometimes when merely traveling casually through the country. A man in the rear is wearing a headdress of cassowary feathers and necklace of cuscus teeth. |
