Fifty Years Ago Today - The Earring



Thursday, August 1, 1963

In the Simbai Valley, Madang District, Papua New Guinea

Gau came by our house this morning. She was wearing her necklaces of trade beads.  Her ear was a convenient holder for a frog she had found in the forest.  Where would she have carried it if she had been wearing an earring of possum fur or a safety pin?
