Child 1981.117.25 The portrait depicts two girls of high caste in traditional skirts and fine jewelry. The bracelets, earings, and necklaces are of tortoise, trochus, and other shells. Yagourough carries a flower in her pierced ear as it’s common for Yapese to carry items such as flowers, cigarettes, or chewing gum wrapping there. Their lips are stained a scarlet color by the juice of betel nuts, mint leaves, and ground coral lime, a common stimulant in Oceania. Mio is also featured in Jacoulet’s print PREMIER AMOUR.
