Description

Costume made of thick woven plant fibre. A square skirt is attached to a hood, featuring raised vertical stripes painted with ochre and lime. The hood has a woven and painted swirl on each side above three short horizontal stripes. A nose protrudes from the hood with large, rectangular gaps for the eyes and mouth. Round ears sit on both sides of the hood, and two loops are attached at back. At the base of the head arms are attached that would cover the top or outside of the wearer`s arms, with cuffs that have long strands of sago leaf sprouting from them. Sago strands also hang from below the skirt. At the base of the body is a string appendage representing a phallus.
