- Description
While girls insisted on wearing their newly acquired blouses (it was cold, they said) the men folk of the Igorots wore only their customary 'inadequate' G-strings. The dance performed as a very special favor (with the offer of some money as an inducement). It is their Headhunter Dance performed by a pair of warriors with head lopping axes and shields. (Caption from film strip envelope).
