papua mushroom man


i've seen these guys in books but now spotted a real one in museum.
a papua guy with a liberty cap on his head.
usually museums and books describe these as having ceremonial head dressing of some sorts. of course it's a mushroom on his head.. the whole guy could be described as a shroom

mushroom man covered spirit house gabel Abelam, new guinea


well.. look at those guys.. what do their "head dressings" look like..
also note the triangular pattern at the bottom part of their head dressing..
that's the part of the shroom where the spores would be i guess

the guys are "nggwal" ancestral spirits, so the scientists say
