THE SEA DYAKS OF BORNEO A SEA DYAK WITH SHIELD He is dressed in the usual waist-cloth the Dyaks wear. On his head is a headkerchief decorated with a fringe. He wears a necklace of large silver buttons. On his arms are sea-shell bracelets and on his calves a large number of palm fiber rings. His right hand is holding the handle of his sword, the sheath of which is fastened to his belt, and his left hand is on his shield. The shield is made out of one piece of wood and colored with a fanciful design. It is decorated with human hair from the heads of dead enemies. From "Seventeen Years Among the Sea Dyaks of Borneo," by Edwin H. Gomes. J . B . Lippincott Co. 715
