Tribes - postcards (T0009) - Oriental Indonesia. Borneo. Kayan Woman from Lirong. 1898
Restoration.
Lirong woman with heavily extended earlobes.
A Lirong woman (Klemantan) of the Tinjar river. The lobe of the ear of Kayan and Kenyah women is pierced at an early age. When the hole is sufficiently large a copper ring, about three-quarters of an inch in thickness, is slipped in, and from time to time others are added, until sometimes, when the lobe has been distended to below the collar-bone, the weight on each ear is as two and a half pounds.
Buschan, Georg (1900)
Borneo = Kalimantan.
