Who is bilum meri?
I would think this is Florence Jaukae from Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province. Florence makes clothing using traditional bilum making methods. Bilum’s were traditionally made from natural fibres but they are now made from wool and also nylon string is used. Traditionally the bilum is a string bag to carry food, firewood and babies.
