Rare and ancient "Hampatong" representing an anthropomorphic element of a "Sandung" ossuary in the image of a heart-shaped face, with large circular eyes that follow the shape of the tridacna gigas shell disks that set the eyes. The aggressive mouth with its outstretched tongue, the symbol of headhunters. Indeed, warfare and the ritual of "headhunting" were common practices. Until the introduction of Islam and Christianity.
