final decorations for dance |
| text: |
In all houses people were sitting down cooking and eating. Women were rushing from house to house carrying little packages of food but otherwise there was not much life in the village. Some young men on the platform next to the Angban were adding some final details to their decorations and their spectacular hats with white hornbill bird feathers were already stuck on the tall poles which surround the platform. Some small girls were playing on the other platform (75) which had been set up below the Ang's house. The Balang morung was quite deserted too and in the Bala there were only two girls who were playing on gongs. |
