Likok wears a necklet made of boar's tusks and a square cut piece of conch shell with a cornelian bead in the middle. His second necklace is made from long conch shell beads cut from the inner part of the shell. These are bought from Angami traders. On his upper arms he wears armlets of elephant's tusk or wodden imitations thereof, and in his ears he has tufts of cotton. ( en )
