Pictured is an installation view from the TMC exhibition Kai Chan: A Walk in the Wilderness, which features a number of loincloths and aprons from the museum's collection that were selected by the artist for inclusion in the exhibition. The loincloths shown are made out of a great variety of materials -- fur, feathers, seeds, bark, glass beads, cowrie shells, cotton and hemp -- and come from Papau New Guinea, Philippines, Congo and Togo.
