Cemetary for the skulls of deceased men at Angpang (Image number B.018, J.P. Mills Photographic Collection)
When a man of the village dies, his skull, after a few days, is removed from the body, cleaned and put into an urn with a flat stone covering it, as shown in this image. This is placed beside a path, and for three years afterwards offerings of food and drink are made to it on feast days.

| 500 | |a This image is part of Album B containing images taken mainly during a punitive expedition in April 1923 to the Konyak village of Yungya, certain inhabitants of which had carried out a head-hunting raid on Kamahu. J.P. Mills was Assistant Commissioner, Mokokchung at this time. He accompanied J.H. Hutton, Deputy Commissioner, Kohima, who was his superior and therefore wrote the official Tour Diary for the expedition. The Konyak tribe lived in the northern part of the Naga Hills. To the west the Konyaks bordered the Assam plains and the Ao Nagas; on the south-east were the Phoms, and on the east the Singphos of Burma. At the time of these photographs much of their country was unadministered and little known and some of the villages visited during this expedition had never before been seen by Europeans. | ||
