Page Totuma (Brazil)

We apologise for not being able to capture all the diacritical marks, but the English portion of the bilingual caption on this unused, aging card reads as: “The Page Totuma taking the ‘Pariot’ women (ambassadress) that should invite the tribe to festa do Yamurikuma.” Then, as for Yamurikuma itself, Wikipedia tells us: “Yamurikuma is a festival in which the women of some Xingu tribes participate in a sort of gender role reversal, wearing feather ornaments and ankle rattles normally worn by men.” All the more reason to own this card.
