Notes
- Abstract:
- An elderly Konyak head-hunter with three companions. His cane hat is decorated with boar's tusks and a pair of horns. From them, and from his ear ornaments, dangle long tassels of human hair. His chest ornament of a model human head and the head-taker's basket on his left hip demonstrate his head-hunter status. ( en )
