yam during the
harvest festival. The carved head was believed to transform the yam into
a manifestation of ancestral spirits. The head is carved from a light
wood, painted with natural pigments. The back of the head is flat and
is perforated along the edge. Rattan is attached through these small holes,
creating a woven plaque that the festival head is mounted into. The head
has a wooden stick that goes through it from top to bottom. This stick
was then inserted into the yam during the harvest festival.
