IV. Ear Pendants of Brass and Brass Wire. 



1. Land-Dyak — '' anteng." 



a. A pair of ear pendants worn by men in festal dances. 

 Each is a thin disc of brass ; a circular hole has been cut very 

 exceutrically in this disc, so that at one point only a narrow 

 strip of brass is left ; this has been split, leaving two overlapping 

 strips which clip the ear-lobe. Several small holes are punched 

 in the border of the disc and a fine silver- wire plait attached to 

 these nearly encircles the disc, just stopping short of the 

 ear-clips.
