13G BURIAL RITES that the dead man may not know his way back to the house, and may thus be unable to trouble his friends afterwards. The women are not permitted to accompany the body to its burial, so they raise a dismal wail as the body is carried away from the house. The body is either taken by boat or carried on foot to the jungle, where a tree is to be cut down for the coffin. When the spot is reached a halt is made. A fowl is killed, and the blood is collected in a cup and mixed with a little water. Each person present is touched with the blood, to propitiate the gods of the infernal world and to secure immunity from any evil consequences to the persons engaged in the funeral rites. They now set to work to make the coffin. A tree is felled, and the required length cut off. This is split in two, and each half is hollowed out. The corpse is then placed in this rude coffin, the two parts of which are now firmly lashed together with cane. The crowd then proceed either on foot or by boat to the place of burial. The burial-ground, or pendam, is on the side of a hill. The trees are not cut generally down, and there is nothing to distinguish the pendam from ordinary jungle. The Dyaks regard a cemetery with superstitious terror as the abode of spirits, and never go to it except to bury their dead, and when they do this thoy do not stay longer than they can help, but hurry from the other away lest they should meet some spirit world. The consequence is that the place is wild and uncared for. The graves, being shallow and not fenced round, are often dug up by wild pigs or bears, and bones and skulls strew the ground. When they reach the spot where the grave is to be, some rice is scattered on the ground. This rice is the
A Dyak Cemetery by the River-side This shows the carved wooden erections put over some of the graves. The trees are generally left standing in a D>ak cemetery, and a little distance from the river bank it is covered with jungle growth. A Dyak Dancing the War Dance He is imitating the action of a man creeping through the jungle, sword in hand, to attajk the enemy. The man on the right is playing a Dyak musical instrument called the Engki urai.
