Huli Tribesman
On his head he wears a traditional 'manda' wig, woven from human hair and decorated with feathers from Birds of Paradise, Cassowary, Parakeets and Lorikeets. On top of the wig, just visible, is a plume of 'jari' cassowary feathers.
He carries a 'nu' string bag (or bilum) slung over his shoulder and knotted across his chest. In this he would normally carry possessions such as 'mundu' tobacco and the instrument needed to smoke this, his 'mundu be' bamboo pipe. He would also carry some cold baked 'hina' sweet potato, and probably a fragment of 'iba waea' mirror and a comb. Any money he has will be there, too, either wrapped up carefully in leaves or secure in a wallet bought at a trade store.
His 'dambale' string apron includes a woven and dyed 'pupai' sporran, and is trimmed with 'nogo erene' pigs' tails. The number of tails denotes his wealth. The generously spread 'pajabu cordyline' leaves he uses to cover his buttocks are visible.
A 'hungoia' bone knife is stuck in his belt.
