Fantastic carvings adorned the open porch of the morung the head and tusks of an elephant, a life-sized leopard running head downwards, and two warriors, holding captured heads in their hands, flanked the open doorways leading to the central hall. Crudely painted in red, white, and black, these doorways reminded one of an ultra-modern theatre decor. There were also (34) couples of lovers, and if these representations were to be believed, love among the Konyaks would appear a rather uncomfortable and hurried affair. |
