The Asaro District of the Eastern Highlands is famous for its warriors known as Mud Men who traditionally covered themselves with grey mud and wore huge, fearsome masks before engaging in battle. The intention was to frighten off their enemies before a fight was even necessary. Today Asaro villagers recreate the scene for visitors in a rare and exciting cultural ritual, Papua New Guinea.
