TNG48 CHAUVE GIRL WEARING KARPUL, N.G.
The exotic headdress of Bird of Paradise plumes, banded by
the golden fur of the karpul, a small New Guinea marsupial, is
a striking feature of this unmarried girl's adornment. Her face
is intricately marked and around her neck she wears fur,
shells and brightly coloured beads.
