Tribal Asia

Over fifteen years, Fritz Trupp and Robert Schmid have documented the cultures of the forgotten tribes of Asia. Hundreds of striking, full-colour photographs illustrate the amazing variety of clothing, jewelry, body painting and other forms of personal adornment. Explanations of rituals, ceremonies and festivals offer an invaluable insight into these ancient peoples who survive in the most isolated regions, and withstand the increasing pressures of encroaching civilization.
