Price: $9.00
Rio Marauia – Alto Rio Negro – Amazonas, Uiaka boy of Pukimabueteri Tribe (Brazil)
Unused, highly aged card whose Portuguese and English captions spell one proper noun variously as “Uaika” and “Uiaka”. (It should be Uaika. Uiaka is in Papua New Guinea.) Grade: 2-

Code: 33800173
Price: $5.00
India Comoiura (Brazil)
Unused, though someone had started to write an address and then perhaps someone else used white correction fluid to blot that out. Grade: 4

Code: 33800174
Price: $3.00
Xingu, Comoiura women performing preliminary dancing (Brazil)
The dancing is for a “festa do Yamurikuma” in this national park. Unused card, heavily but evenly aged. Grade: 2

Xavante Indians from the East – Mato Grosso (Brazil)
Unused card whose aging process is a bit more severe than most. Grade: 3

Code: 33800176
Price: $7.00
Xingu Indigenous Park, Indians of Various Tribes (Brazil)
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

Code: 33800177
Price: $6.00
Kamaiura Indians from the High Xingu (Dance of the Deaths) (Brazil)
Unused, aged and with minor foxing on the reverse. Unusual. Grade: 2

Code: 33800180
Price: $9.00
Surui Girl with a “tembeta” under her lips (Brazil)
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: 33800181
Price: $7.00
Rio Marauia, Indio do povo Uaika da tribo Mokarinxinobeteri (Brazil)
In 1969, someone placed three large and different stamps on the back of this card. There’s no message or address, but there is one red postmark (from a postage meter) and one additional commemorative chop. Around the edges, there are also three small inked notations with numbers. Exceptionally, and all things considered, we assign Grade: 2

Code: 33800182
Price: $16.00

The Portuguese-language caption on this clean, unused card translates as: “Dancer (virgin) ‘Kalapalos’ in cassava harvest feast”. Grade: 1

Code: 33800183
Price: $8.00
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. Grade: 2

Code: 33800184
