A group of Islander men wearing traditional, ceremonial dress

A colour image of a group of men in profile, in an outdoor performance space in the Solomon Islands. They are wearing traditional, ceremonial dress and elaborate, intricately designed headdresses. They are holding long, thin, wooden instruments. In the background a group of onlookers sit on, or lean against a fence with white wooden railings, in the shade of a stand of trees. This image was shot while filming Solomon Islands 1979
