Aborigines of the Asaro tribe, Papua New Guinea, 1969.
The mud people of Asaro are one of the most famous tribes of Papua New Guinea. Its peculiarity is the scary masks on the head made of clay.
The legend of the tribe says that one day they were defeated by another tribe and were forced to flee to the Asaro River and hide in the water. At dusk, the fugitives came out of the water to look around. The enemies mistook the people smeared with river slime for ghosts and fled in fear. The defeated were able to return to their village.
To scare off new enemies, they made scary masks out of clay, because the mud from the Asaro River was considered poisonous and the locals were afraid to put it on their face.
