With a Cannibal Trophy Skull
This human skull was once worn as jewelry.
Headhunting as a Sacred Ritual
For the Dayak people, headhunting wasn’t violence for violence’s sake. It was believed that taking an enemy’s head transferred their spirit, strength, and wisdom to the victor. The skulls of defeated enemies were thought to protect the village, ensure fertile crops, and even bring in a bountiful rice harvest.

A Symbol of Strength and Identity
Trophy skulls were highly cherished. Often preserved in bark boxes, these skulls were displayed in homes, worn in ceremonies, and even brought into future battles as talismans of strength and intimidation.

Headhunting was considered a “blood credit,” or a way to avenge a death within the tribe. It was so woven into Dayak identity that a warrior’s dowry could even include a human head, proving his ability to defend and provide for a family. →
