Publisher's Synopsis

The Home Life of Borneo Head-Hunters: Its Festivals and Folk-Lore is a book written by William Henry Furness. It is a detailed account of the daily life, customs, and traditions of the indigenous people of Borneo, particularly the head-hunters. The book provides an insight into the social structure, religious beliefs, and cultural practices of these people. It also covers their festivals and celebrations, including the harvest festival, the rice planting festival, and the head-hunting festival. The book is based on Furness's personal experiences and observations during his travels to Borneo. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in anthropology, ethnography, or the history of Southeast Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
