shows the direction where ngayau get victim "human head" which was
made a mandatory requirement for establishing the pantar. Ngayau is the one
option that's willing to risk his life to get out of the area and looking for a
victim to qualify the establishment of pantar. The victim was killed somewhere
and taken her head to take home. If getting the victims and taken alive, could
be made a condition for the next ceremony, namely sangaran.

longer implemented using a human head, along with the legal restrictions that
are implemented at the time of the Netherlands, until now they obey the law of
the Government, as well as their belief that most have embraced religion
(Islamic, Christian, and Hindu-Kaharingan).

Buffalo. On the pillars there pantar incision incision-which indicates the
level of difficulty to get the victims. Pantar is also free in carving with
added carvings of animals on its shaft in accordance with the creations of
sculptor.
Characteristics of pantar using
human head as the victim is, 1) there was a Hornbill (made of ulin wood) on top
of it, 2) there is a Tajahan (a small stump shaped spirit that is located in
front of sandong made of ulin wood).

carried out in a series of ceremonies Tiwah. Sangaran is a high pole (lower
than the pantar) is around 3 meters are used to bind the victim either man or
buffalo who will be killed (stabbed with a spear).

a jar and carvings in accordance with pemahatnya creations. Sangaran is held as
a ladder (highest) to deliver the soul towards heaven "most
beautiful".
