EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Four Distinct Ethnic Groups of Borneo, Southeast Asia, 1922" This evocative photograph captures the diverse cultural richness of Borneo, a large island in Southeast Asia, during the early 20th century. At the time, Borneo was under British rule, and its various ethnic groups continued to maintain their unique traditions and identities. In the top left corner, an Iban man, also known as Sea Dayaks or Dyaks, is depicted wearing a necklace made of intricately arranged shells and sporting tattoos on his body. The Iban people are renowned for their seafaring skills and intricate body art. Top right, an Orang Bukit woman from the Klemantan region showcases her large earrings and a striking brooch. The Orang Bukit, or mountain people, are known for their gold jewelry and intricate beadwork. In the bottom left corner, an Ukit man from the Rejang area displays a tattoo on his chest. The Ukit people are known for their distinctive tattoos, which are believed to represent their social status, age, and tribal affiliation. Lastly, in the bottom right corner, a Kayan man proudly wears earrings made of tiger canine teeth. The Kayan people, also known as the "Long-necked Kayans," are famous for their elongated necks, achieved through the use of brass rings. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the diverse ethnic groups of Borneo during the 1920s, showcasing their unique traditions, jewelry, and cultural practices. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Southeast Asia today.
