SEA Annotations

en Last day of the Gawai, the day which is called maamasi or aso pasiap. On the sixth day, other decorated boats arrive. This time, it is the women of the surrounding villages. They bring eight kinds of cakes. After going around the cow cages, they too must cut down a log to gain access to the longhouse. After the sacrifices, the pasiap ritual takes place, which consists of a long procession of a hundred women all around the long gallery in which the men are seated. Before entering the long gallery, the women gracefully dance. Splendid, dressed in pearls embroidered with gold and coins, a headband of pearls around their heads, they each carry an iron kettle filled with cakes. They circulate in file to put in the mouth of each man cakes of eight kinds. The gesture, of a highly erotic nature, is often dismissed today.
