Japaljarri's dance

Wearing an elaborate headdress, built up on his head and decorated with “wamurlu” a vegetable down partly coloured with red ochre and glued on the body, a man of the Japaljarri subsection dances with the dreaming design relevant to his clan and the song cycle followed during a “Ngajakula” ceremony in Lajamanu.
