| Tumbuan masks, the most sacred and secret of the Tolai people, come ashore for initiation ceremonies in Kabilomo, Duke of York islands. The mask with the black feathers is the most powerful. See the video:"The Drum and The Mask:Time of the Tumbuan" for more information on these masks and their ceremonies. | ||
