Ornamentation analysis; The Green Place
The Green Place is an oasis in the Australian outback, populated by the people known as The Vuvalini.
They mostly live off of vegetables, fruits and even fish, an extreme luxury in the wasteland.
Their houses and clothing are mostly blue. Solar panels cover the roofs and walls of their homes, sustaining them with clean energy, which they also get from windmils and possibly even the water.
I have observed that the men seem to only wear white, whereas the women wear mostly blue. The blue could be chosen because of the blue solar panels, the water or the connection to royalty, since the women of the Green Place are the rulers and warriors.
Their clothing is all very practical for the environment in which they live. Loose fitting robes of different sources and materials, but what looks to be denim, canvas and/or linnen. Belts worn over these garments around the waist are personalized for each individual. Mary Jabassa, Furiosa's mother and the leader of the Vuvalini, has a sheath for a large machette on her belt, as well as a pouch in which she is shown to store bullets at the beginning of furiosa.
Furiosa herself has a small, colorful purse in which she puts a peach. She most likely uses it for gathering our into the wilds.
The people of the Green Place do not wear shoes, most likely because the area in which they live is relatively safe, with plenty of shade so they wont burn their feet on the hot sand, or debris and rocks to step on.
Whistles are also a part of the culture of the Green Place, used as their communication system, for example to warn when scavengers invade their home.
Mary Jabassa wears a steel whistle on a black string around her neck.
The Vuvalini general wears a black wooden conductors whistle on a string.
Valkyrie has a small bamboo whistle with a red cap on a white string.
Furiosa wears a brass boatswain whistle on a chain, which she uses to warn her people.
While the people of the Green Place live relatively peaceful lives, they are extremely prepared to defend themselves at any cost.
All of their clothing and arsenal is extremely practical and also sustainable. Later, in Fury Road we see a different side of the Vuvalini which i will talk about in another post.
The people of the green place ride horses. They decorate the horses by putting bells in their manes, perhaps as a show of affection or simply to track them if they ever get lost.
