Description

PAPUA NEW GUINEA - CENTRAL HIGHLANDS - INSECT HEAD BAND
In 1988 I traveled to the Central Highlands of Papua New Guinea
to photograph the beautiful costumes worn by the different clan groups
as they competed in the annual Sing Sing dance competition
held in Mt. Hagen.
One of the items
I found
Intriguing was t
his head band made from cloth,
native materials and green beetles
.
In my photograph you see young boys dressed up for the competition
wearing this style of head band.
