Jakapis / Skulls of wildboar (Sus scrofa) are stacked on a stick in the village of Jakapis, one of the furthermost village of Asmat. Menâs stature in the village decided by the kinds or quantity of the animals hunted. During headhunting days - which has now long gone - menâs stature in the village is determined by the number of enemy heads he collected during headhunting raids.
