Huli Wigman, Papua New Guinea
I had gathered quite a lot of visual reference material on the PNG tribes. This is my first model of a Huli tribesman. At Exchange festivals (moka), the different clans would gather and exchange gifts of pigs. This model depicts one such tribesman who is trying to recover his dancing cloth from a pet.
