Xingu Indigenous Park, Indians of Various Tribes
Though it’s strange enough to see such a multi-tribal group, this postcard has something different on the back. Long ago, someone in Brazil cut out a “personals” ad (in Portuguese) from the newspaper, and pasted it in the message area, along with a handwritten notation in the address area. While this does deface the card, it adds a new dimension. We’ll assign Grade: 4

Surui Girl with a “tembeta” under her lips
Unused card, and we must note two things: (A) inside the message area, there’s a large round “chop” (like a postmark) dated 1964, with someone’s name. We don’t know the origin of this. And (B), the vertical white line in the photo is not an abrasion; it’s the “tembeta” rod, the subject of the card. ONLY because we don’t know about the round chop, we assign Grade: 4

Code: 20203527
Price: $7.00
Povos Indigenas no Brasil
An ad card for an exhibition of photos by Rosa Gauditano. The group represented by this youngster is not identified. Unused. Grade: 1

Exceptionally, and all things considered, we assign Grade: 2

Code: 20203529

Code: 20203530

Page Totuma
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. Grade: 2
