iban = man or people in malaysia
the ibans were the original inhabitants of borneo island. a long time ago the ibans were a strong, warring tribe and were known for practicing headhunting. needless to say, they were a very feared tribe in borneo, malaysia. ibans believed in the tale that the natural environment was populated by spirits, which had the power to control people, animals, and crops. today the days of headhunting are long gone and the increasingly urbanized population is primarily christian and muslim. this is the mask from malaysia. it is iban in style and is believed to attract good spirits.
