Original description

en Vocal and instrumental music collected in Kalimantan Timur in 1977 by N. Revel, J. Maceda and I Made Bandem. Ceremonial dance welcoming rice seeds to the village by all the villagers (200 families) in their finest attire and all the musical instruments together as well as the mouth organ, kedirek which revolves around the central column topped by toucan , surrounded by two tigers.
Dance of masks in a semi-circle facing the column, on the left, udoq kitaq (worn by men), made of wood and on the right udoq kibah (worn by women), made of inverted hoods covered with beaded tapestries representing the udoq on the face of the overturned basket.
The gestures are very slow and graceful. At the center of these two semicircular groups arrives udoq taing whose head represents an enormous wild boar (carried by 10 men) and small figures, udoq maok surrounds him and carry blowguns and quivers as well as baskets full of rice seeds. They represent the hunter-gatherers, Punan. (Cf. Bilingual booklet. The music of the Kenyah and Modang in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Face I.5, p.5)
