MERAUKE MARIND-ANIM TRIBE: HUMAN HEADHUNTING SKULL #1 |
|
easternmost area in Merauke Regency, Papua Province, on the Maro River. They believe, to protect themselves from evil spirits, they decorate their headhunted victims' skulls with shells that cover the eyes sockets, nose, and mouth that prevents evil from entering the soul and being of their dead relatives in the after life. In the past Marind-anim, sometimes referred to as The Merauke Tribe, were famed because of headhunting. That was rooted in their belief system and linked to the name-giving of the newborn. The skull was believed to contain a mana-like force. Their headhunting was not motivated primarily by cannibalism, but rather already killed person's flesh was consumed. Merauke veneration takes a characteristic form: mythological ancestors are demon-like figures, that are featured in myths, who act as culture heroes, by arranging the ancient world into its present state. They often take the of form plants or animals. The Asmat Tribe, from Irian Jaya Indonesia, collect and worship ancestor skulls to remember their deceased family members. Each Asmat sub group decorate their skulls differently. The Asmat usually use feathers, seeds, and carved sea shell nose rings to decorate their skulls. THE IFUGAO TRIBE, FROM THE PHILIPPINES, PLACE HEAD HUNTED HUMAN TROPHY SKULLS OUTSIDE OF THEIR HUTS, AS WELL AS, MOUNT THEM OVER THEIR HEARTHS INSIDE OF THEIR HOMES. THE DAYAK, IFUGAO, AND NAGA HUMAN SKULLS ARE HEAD HUNTING TROPHIES. THE ASMAT "ANCESTOR" SKULLS. THE DIFFERENCE IS; HEAD HUNTED SKULLS ARE ACQUIRED FROM ENEMY ANCESTOR SKULLS ARE COLLECTED AND VENERATED TO REMEMBER DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERS. THE IFUGAO COLLECT BONES OF DEAD RELATIVES; WRAP THEM IN TRIBAL TEXTILES, AND STORE THEM IN THE RAFTERS UNDER THEIR HUTS. HUMAN SKULLS AND SKULL CAPS FROM NEPAL ARE RITUAL OFFERTORY VESSELS THAT ARE USED AS DRINKING CUPS IN TIBETAN BUDDHIST CEREMONIES. |
