Dayak, Dyak or Dayuh women of Borneo, south east Asia, dancing with human heads

Dayak, Dyak or Dayuh women of Borneo, south east Asia, dancing with human heads. A few days after the return of a successful head-hunting expedition, the heads, which had been hacked off the dead bodies, were brought into the house. Then followed a time of rejoicing in the course of which the heads were taken by the women who, having performed fantastic dances, hung them beside the old ones. The presence of heads in the house was supposed to attract the benevolent spirits who lived around them. From Customs of The World, published c.1913.
