Album Info:

(DSC02174) In ancient practice, Ginum could include the display of enemy skulls mounted on the patan-an as offering. The indigenous warriors boasted of their deeds. In some cases, the celebration included human sacrifice. Today, it is sufficient to offer a chicken, whose blood is made to drip onto the bamboo poles. Two "mabalians" or shamans (a man and a woman) and the datu or leading warrior lead the sacrificial offering. (Taken from an adjacent signage)
