three broad bands of red, blue, and white. Those who 

 can afford it wear a handkerchief on the head, which 



is either red, with 

 a narrow border of 

 gold lace, or of three 

 colours, like the 

 "chawat." The large 

 flat moon - shaped 

 brass earrings, the 

 heavy necklace of 

 white or black beads, 

 rows of brass rings 

 on the arms and 

 legs, and armlets of 

 white shell, all serve 

 to relieve and set 

 off the pure reddish 

 brown skin and jet- 

 black hair. Add tit 

 this the little pouch 

 containingmaterials 

 for betel - chewing, 

 and a long slender knife, both invariably worn at the 

 side, and you have the every-day dress of the young Dyak 

 gentleman. 



The " Orang Kaya," or rich man, as the chief of the tribe 



PORTKAIT OF DYAK YOUTH.
