Slide (colour); a Toyota pick-up on whose roof are displayed sides of pork, fat outermost, from the pigs killed the previous day at the climax to one Wahgi tribe’s Pig Festival. Komblo tribe, the holders of this Pig Festival, wanted to advertise to tribes elsewhere in the Wahgi Valley the success of their Festival, and threatened to barricade recipients (such as the Toyota driver) from leaving the previous night when it would have been too dark for the pork to be seen.
