The Tambul people, are an indigenous group residing in the Tambul-Nebilyer District of the Western Highlands Province characterized by its rugged terrain, high mountains, and fertile valleys.
They have a rich and unique culture known for their traditional customs, rituals, and art forms. Like many other indigenous groups in Papua New Guinea, they have a strong connection to the land and their environment.
Body decoration is especially prominent during ceremonial occasions and rituals. Important events such as initiations, weddings, funerals, and other cultural celebrations are times when individuals may adorn themselves with elaborate body paint and decorations.
In addition to pigments, Tambul people may use natural materials like feathers, shells, leaves, and flowers to adorn their bodies. These materials are often woven into intricate headdresses, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets.
