Lun Bawang Beads


'Beret' - Belt

My mom bought this 'beret' for me more than 20 years ago.

New 'beret'

See the colour combination?


Up close look at the beads of 'pata' or head gear.

The 'bane' or necklace

Mom knows every name of the beads.


Different unique feature.


Mom used to say that the making of these beads are not an easy job. This is not just made of clay but it is made of antique broken vase and processed until it become small beads. The making is not an easy job and the structure is very difficult to determine of what its made of thus making it very expensive and valuable for the Lun Bawangs.
