Asaro Mudmen
Tradition of an ethnic group of Papua New Guinea
Asaro Mudmen
The "Mudmen" of Papua New Guinea's Asaro tribe, also known as the Holosa, are those who wear a traditional costume centered around masks made of mud. They reside in a village near Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. The practice of wearing these costumes originated for a cultural show in 1957, and has subsequently developed to become an important marker of identity associated both with the local area and the country as a whole. The costumes and associated performances have become significant tourist attractions, leading to imitations in other parts of the highlands.
