2 Naga hoofdtooien die gedragen werden door mannelijke leden van de stam tijdens de "genna's" (rituele feesten) en die symbool staan voor gevechtskledij.

De "Naga's" zijn een etnische groep met een onmiskenbare gemeenschappelijke identiteit welke leven in het noordoosten van India en Myanmar in een bijzonder ruig gebied, in en rond de Indiase staat Nagaland. Ze worden tot de Adivasi (scheduled tribes) gereken.

De Naga's behoren tot de laatste groepen van koppensnellers in Azië: hun moed werd gemeten aan het aantal afgehakte hoofden van overwonnen krijgers behorende tot vijandelijke stammen. In de jaren '30 bekeerden de meeste gemeenschappen zich tot het christendom na het bezoek aan de regio door christelijke missionarissen.

Deze hoofdtooien werden in het bijzonder gedragen door mannelijke stamleden tijdens de dansen met een rituele betekenis (bvb. naar aanleiding van het koppensnellen) en werden versierd met ornamenten en veren die hun sociale status in de stam aanduiden.

De typisch konische vorm is afkomstig van de Kalyo-Kenguy Naga, maar werd later door alle Naga stammen overgenomen.

(Yimsungr, Chang, Konyak, Ao, Rengma, Kalyo-Kengyu - Naga, Nagaland, India)

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
