SARAWAK ETHNOGRAPHICAL COLLECTION. 21 



A. " grunjong tampil " or " grunjong ikat." 



a. A pair of ear-ornaments ; each one composed of a 

 series of thirty-nine penannular rings of brass wire, filed flat 

 on the inner side. They are graduated in size, the uppermost 

 ring of each series being 2*1 cm. in diameter, the lowest 4'-i cm. 

 The ends of the rings are turned back and through the loops 

 so formed a double string is threaded ; the rings are all threaded 

 close together — being only separated from each other by knots 

 in the string — so that each one overlaps the next below it.

 Catalogue No. 131. 



b. Very similar to the preceding, but with only thirty-five 

 rings, the smallest 1-8 cm. in diameter, the largest 5-1 cm. 

 The last and largest ring is flat on both sides and to notches in 

 its lower border are attached by small links of brass wire a 

 row of twenty flat diamond-shaped brass pendants ; the central 

 pendant is bifurcated and to it is attached a double chain of 

 diamond-shaped pendants. To every third ring of the series is 

 attached by a sliding wire link a diamond-shaped pendant. 

 The rings are not only joined together by a doubled string passing 

 through the loops formed by the turned-back ends of the rings 

 with a knot between each ring, but also by the string passing- 

 back outside the loops with a hitch round every ring.

 smallest 1*7 cm. in diameter, the largest 4*2 cm. Eleven flat 

 diamond-shaped pendants of brass are attached by sliding links 

 to the ring at irregular intervals ; the last ring bears only one 

 pendant not a row of pendants.
