caption:

Man in ceremonial dress, wearing head-taker's insignia: cane helmet decorated with tasselled horns and boar's tusks, triple boar's tusk neck ornament, and chest pendant carved to represent a human face: his hair worn long over one shoulder is a matter of personal preference and not a custom universal among the tribe. Konyak, Tamlu village.
