I went for a medical camp last Sunday in Kampung Muhang. Situated in the district of Kudat, the place is populated by Rungus people. Yes, they are the same native race group as my wife, but unfortunately, she do not know all the accessories that I shoot here.
Just would like to share with you the things that you wont find it anywhere else - except Borneo…
Tinohian - the one that is put on the head of male elderly Rungus people.
Togkol - the one that is put on the neck.
Barefoot is common here…
Sadang - Earings.
Linongkitan - fabric material that is worn by Rungus women.
Saring, Batakan, Olitang, Satu - A group of bracelet, worn by Rungus women, made with brass.
A Rungus elderly men with Sigal (on the head).
