AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is part of a series of descriptive accounts of Iban culture culled from Brooke Low's papers (for Part I, see 4: Roth, this file). The topics discussed here include agriculture, dwelling, slavery, clothing and ornaments, body painting and mutilation, hunting and fishing, boat building, weapons and warfare, headhunting, musical instruments and singing. There are also remarks on the allegation of cannibalism among the natives. Although lacking precise analysis, Mr. Low's accounts possess the color and immediacy of a resident observer.
