Shown are a set of Dayak Headhunting Regalia, including a war shield (with human hair), a mandau or headhunting sword (also with human hair hanging from the handle), a protective war vest, and a war helmet with feathers. Another unique brass ceremonial dance shield from the Kenyah tribe is displayed nearby. On the right wall are two rare painted bark cloth blouses (with one applique blouse) of the Toraja. At the left is a old Hudoq mask of the Kayan tribe, that is published in "Jungles of Borneo", 1927.
