text: Today he appeared most dignified wearing a splendid red and yellow hat with a comb of flowing goats' hair apparently made by the Kalyu-Kengyu but very similar to the Konyak hats. Two skulls are hanging in front of a drum house as well as several bamboo balls and a longish piece of wood carved with five heads. One of the skulls Chirongchi has captured himself. It belonged to a notorious Sema called Pukovi from the village Kumishe
