The ceremony helps the spirits of the deceased pass over to the otherworld. Collected by Todd BarlinThese costumes were used in a 1989 Jipae Ceremony that I attended. I made many trips to the Asmat during the years 1985-1999 staying several months each trip. This was at a time when the area was mostly closed to foreigners.
