Performing a 'sevusevu' ceremony. Five Fijian men sit in a circle around a wooden 'tanoa' as they participate in a traditional 'sevusevu' welcoming ceremony. Naked from the waist up, the men wear face paint, grass skirts and leis made from leaves. The central figure strains a mixture of water and powdered kava root (Piper methysticum) through a cloth to remove any grit, before distributing the infusion. Fiji, 1965.
