Title: OF JARS AND GONGS. Two Keys to Ot Danum Dayak Cosmology.
Description: 88 pp.; 62 illustrations, maps, bibliography. Leiden, 2016. Hbk. 'Of Jars and Gongs' deals with the traditional art of Ot Danum Dayak. Much of their art depicts the journey of the soul of the deceased through a richly variegated spirit world. The present publication offers a comparative analysis of various Ot Danum ritual objects. It draws on a long tradition of ethnographic writing on the area stretching back to the mid-19th century, mainly by German and Swiss Protestant missionaries and Dutch colonials.
