SKULLS. THE DIFFERENCE VICTIMS WHILE DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERS. THE IFUGAO ALSO 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. SEVERAL CULTURES HONOR HUMAN SKULLS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS, BUT THEY ALL CONSIDER HUMAN SKULLS VALUABLE ENTITIES THAT ARE WORTHY OF PRESERVED COLLECTIONS BUT HUMAN SKULLS, IN SOME CASES, HAVE BECOME A TRIBE'S PREOCCUPATION! |
