Object description

Ur generalkatalogen: "Krigarprydnad - 'svans' - 'tsongotsichap' - bestående av en vinkelböjd träbit, skuren i ett stycke, upptill urholkad. På ömse sidor prydd med gettagel, färgat i rött och gult. Upptill och ovanpå prytt med ett band av flätade orkidéstjälkar, färgade i rött och gult. Upptill sitter ett ögleformat handtag av trä att fästas vid midjan."

Prydnaden binds fast baktill som en svans och bärs antagligen bara av hövdingar med full utrustning. (Hutton,1968.) En liknande svansprydnad har följande bildtext: "With ceremonial dress some veteran warriors wear a tail of basket work about 30 cm long haning down or sticking out behind." (Ganguli, 1993, sid 83.)

Ytterligare ett fotografi av liknande prydnader har följande bildtext: "Ceremonial tails and hip baskets used for carrying panjis, sharpened bamboo spikes stuck in the ground to impede the progress of one's enemies." (Jacobs, 1990. sid 238.)

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
