Compositional Analysis of Glass Beads from Borneo and Java
In this paper, we present the results from compositional analysis of heirloom glass beads from the island of Borneo and Java, Indonesia. A large portion of the beads in this study are from Borneo and housed in the British Museum’s collections. A smaller subset of beads from Campbell Cole’s collection likely come from Java. Previous studies of heirloom beads from Borneo (e.g., Campbell Cole 2022) have raised questions about where the beads came fr…
Heirloom Beads among the Dayak of Borneo
Research on Borneo’s heirloom beads has so far largely focused on the Dayak tribes of Sarawak in Borneo’s north. To expand the study area, the author has undertaken fieldwork in both Sarawak and Kalimantan and focused on Borneo’s links with regional and international trade routes along which its heirloom beads traveled. A further area of research has been British and Dutch colonial literature and collections of heirloom beads outside Borneo
Tracing the trade of heirloom beads across Zomia
This chapter summaries a recent compositional study of ethnographic heirloom beads from several ethnic groups in upland northeast India and Southeast Asia, a geographic region sometimes known as Zomia. The beads were analysed using X-ray emission (PIXE) and can be classified into three groups: potash-lime (K-Ca), soda-lime (Na-Ca), and a third group that may be a mixture of these two glass types. We find that all three glass types appear to have …
Heirloom Blue-Glass Melon Beads of the Tani Tribes, Northeast India
The Tani tribes of Arunachal Pradesh in India's remote northeast wear various heirloom necklaces including those composed of highly distinctive melon-shaped beads of wound turquoise-blue glass. These are unique to central Arunachal and were already of considerable age and very highly prized in the early 19th century. The Tanis believe their beads were made by a mythical ancestor in Tibet, but their bubbly opaque blue glass and wound method of pro…
Heirloom Beads of the Kachin and Naga
The heirloom beads of the Kachin and Naga - known respectively as khaji and deo moni - were discussed at length in British-colonial literature, but remained unidentified until the present day. The homelands of the Kachin and Naga straddle the northern Burma/Northeast India frontier. Safe from the great civilizations which rose and fell in the plains, the cultures of these hill peoples remained relatively intact until the arrival of the colonial B…
