Group portrait of four Tudu women and one infant dressed in customary clothing and standing facing the camera. The elderly women on either side have their earlobes cut in the customary manner, and wear long banana leaf skirts, under which are petticoats of cloth. The one on the left wears a dibidibi (shell neck ornament) and holds the infants’ hand. The two women in the centre are probably both teenagers; they are dressed in the same manner as the older women. The one to the left wears a dibidibi.
