Description
This is a wonderful pictorial essay on PNG ceremonies, decoration, dances and dancers. Divided into three sections--the Coastal Region, the Highlands, the Sepik--each with superb color photographs, this book documents body decoration, facial makeup, headdresses, ornaments, and masks. Though there have been numerous books illustrating PNG ceremonies in the mid and late 20th century, virtually none can rival this volume in the breadth of its subject matter and the superb quality of its color photographs.
Birnbaum, Phil. (photographs), A.J. Strathern (text). Darlinghurst, 1990. 159 pages, 153 large color photographs--mostly full-page, 1 double-page map. Cloth cover.
