View through Europeana Collections
A pair of hair extensions, presumably the "angar wahoekak", hair ornament of the boys, as soon as they pass from the second age class (Aroi-Patoon) to the class of the Mokrawed). The hair has then become so long that it can be formed into so-called "majoeb" (braids). (hair braids), to which hair extensions, such as those worn in the further classes of old age, may be woven.
