Melpa women performing the traditional body painting (Papua New Guinea). The Melpa people primarily inhabit the Enga Province and adjacent parts of the Western Highlands Province in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. This region is characterized by rugged mountainous terrain. Melpa society traditionally had a clan-based social structure. Each clan was led by a clan chief, and the clans played important roles in local politics and decision-making. The Melpa people are primarily subsistence farmers who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods. They cultivate crops such as sweet potatoes, taro, yams, and vegetables in the fertile highland soils. Pigs are also an important part of their agricultural system, used in rituals and as a form of currency. NFT: https://linktr.ee/roberto_pazzi IG: https://www.instagram.com/roberto_pazzi_photo

Another beautiful photo-document with the inevitable syncretisms between ancient traditions and modern swanky things such as the leopard cape in poor fleece or the modest bra; Equally evident are the effects of a diet that is no longer subsistence but with probable Western contaminations.
