A Mudman holding up his mud-covered mask. PAPUA NEW GUINEA: THIS PHOTOGRAPHER has shared pictures from a festival that brings rival tribes together - including one who dress up like skeletons to scare their enemies, and another that cover themselves in mud. Incredible images capture the Chimbu tribesmen covered in black and white skeleton paint ready to strike fear into the opposing tribes. Other photos depict the peculiar fashions of the Asaro tribe, also known as Mudmen, who dress up in mud and wear mud masks. The fascinating images were taken by travel photographer, Trevor Cole who lives in Donegal, Ireland, when he visited the Paiya village. The tribes were at a festival called Sing Sing, where they danced and sang together. mediadrumimages / Trevor Cole
