Additional Information

Crocodile Clansmen by David Kirkland photographer. Photographed in the Cook Islands.

After paddling up the Sepik River in a dug-out canoe for an hour or so, we found a shaded rock-pool that I thought would be ideal to photograph two young initiates of one of the river’s crocodile clans. In several villages along the Sepik, young men are taken through a painful initiation ritual where their bodies are scarred to represent the much-revered crocodile. Hundreds of tiny incision are made to their torso before being packed with mud to form callouses, patterned into the shape of a crocodile head.

Photographic Limited Edition Print 1/25

Print only or Frame with acrylic glazing in choice of oak, black or white, or;

Printed on canvas with a box oak frame choice of oak, black or white. If prefer black or white box frame please add to order. Ready to hang.
