EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Sarawak headhunters' skulls, meticulously crafted from bone and straw. Taken by renowned photographer Luca Tettoni, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Dayak people in Sarawak, Malaysia. The intricate details of each skull tell a haunting tale of ancient traditions and warrior prowess. These trophy skulls were once revered as symbols of bravery and power, obtained through the act of headhunting - an integral part of Dayak culture for centuries. Hanging delicately against a backdrop that seems to whisper stories from another time, these human remains serve as reminders of a bygone era. The composition evokes both curiosity and reverence for the customs that shaped the lives of those who came before us. Borneo's dense jungles have witnessed countless battles fought with valor and determination. Through this photograph, we are transported to an era where heads were prized possessions, trophies earned through acts of courage on the battlefield. As we contemplate this striking image captured by Bridgeman Images, let us not forget to honor the legacy left behind by these fearless warriors. Their bones may hang silently in display today but they continue to speak volumes about their indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to their tribe.
