Notes:

• In the first watercolour on the left are two boys standing. The tallest boy on the left wears a red European blanket and a thick pake (rain cape). A smaller child on his right is smoking a pipe and and is wearing a Korowai-ngore (cloak) made with cylindrical thrumbs that have been scraped and dyed and woollen pompoms.
  
  
• In the centre watercolour a girl stands wrapped in a shawl and cloak with coloured wool fringing and a shark tooth ear pendant.
  
  
• In the third watercolour on the right a boy stands wrapped in a European blanket worn like a cloak. He stands in front of a fortified fence and a dog hide that has been stretched out on stakes to dry in the sun.
