Hiertegenaan zit de rotan pees vastgeklemd, die ook aan beide kanten in een oog eindigt.<BR> Ter plaatse verzameld in Maart 1953.<BR> <BR> Sande noticed that the bows of Lake Sentani did not possess the important decoration of some bows coming from Humboldt Bay. <BR> Bows and arrows could be deposited in the grave of its wearer after his death. At Asei, in the fence around a grave, the bow of the death man is stuck straight into the soil.<BR> Sande wrote that arms were always carried when going outside the village, and the women working in the gardens were accompanied by men in case of an attack.<BR> Arrows for pig hunting always have a bamboo head, making a large wound.
