This postcard transport us back in time to the 1910s, showcasing the enigmatic Chieftain of the Roro (Bereina) people of Papua New Guinea. The Chieftain, adorned in traditional attire, wears an elaborate and massive feathered headdress that towers above his head, symbolizing his status and power within the tribe. The intricately designed headdress is made of an abundance of vibrant feathers, meticulously arranged to create a breathtaking and awe-inspiring sight. The Chieftain holds a traditional drum, a vital instrument in Roro (Bereina) culture, used for communication, rituals, and community gatherings. His long nose piercing and the necklaces made of savage-looking claws, fangs, and teeth further emphasize his stature and the fierce warrior spirit of his people. The Roro (Bereina) people, indigenous to the Bereina River area in Papua New Guinea, have a rich and complex tribal culture, steeped in tradition and ritual. Their unique customs, such as the intricate feather headdresses, drumming, and body adornments, have been passed down through generations, preserving their heritage and identity. This postcard offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the fascinating world of the Roro (Bereina) people and their remarkable traditions. The image is an incredible testament to the resilience and diversity of indigenous cultures and the importance of preserving their histories for future generations.
