| 520 | 3 | |a In his "sweat wig" circlet of bear's fur he has four hornbill feathers, one for each occasion he has done the head-taking genna or ceremony. In his ears he has huge pads of cotton wool, and boar's tusks around his neck. Between his shoulders is the ruho, or "enemy's teeth". It consists of a flat piece of wood covered with woven red cane which is bordered with cowries - the "teeth". This is fringed with dyed red goat's hair - the blood pouring out of the enemy's mouth. Below this hangs the "tail", developed from the basket used to carry panjis - sharpened bamboo spikes. This "tail" is of the type, in which the long fringe of women's hair hangs directly from the small cane basket. The man wears wristlets sewn with cowries and fringed with goat's hair, and carries a dao and spear. | |
