Head Basket

Well made rattan baskets are used by the men to carry the necessities for a hunt or journey. They are popularly known as "head baskets", since the heads of enemies are sometimes carried in them. Braided bands slip over the shoulders and support the basket on the back of the wearer. TINGUIAN. Northwestern Luzon, Philippine Islands. Robert F. Cummings Expedition. F.C. Cole, Collector.
