Grandfather Negundi on his way home from an unsuccessful day hunting with his bow and arrow. Although he doesn’t know his precise age, he thinks he is roughly 70 years old. His teeth are stained red by years of chewing a mixture of betel nut and crushed coral, a highly alkaline paste that causes the teeth to rapidly decay. For a man of his age in the Karunga Valley, Mr Negundi has a fine set of teeth.
