Hi Vandoo you are right that these late example s are more for tourist
The older ones are used as an gift and are much better quality than you find
today they never have been used for headhunting

The picture from Queen Emma can be seen in the book Koningklijke geschenken uit Indonesie this contains the gifts that where presented from Indonesia to the Netherlands Kingdom


Regards, Ben

The other thing I have noticed is that later ones have hair that is colored with brighter colors, not just bright as in fresh or vibrant, but bright as in more neon or pastels.

Do the rest of you see the same?
