Lokop Mabel, of the Dani Tribe

In the distant land of Papua, Indonesia, live the Dani tribe. Although thousands of years old, they were unknown to the rest of the world until 1938. Today they still live a simple life and their traditions and values have endured. Dani men are renowned for their formidable appearance – including wearing the horim or penis gourd. In 2022 I was invited into Anemoigi village and this portrait is of Lokop, one of the elders of the Dani of Papua.
