Just as time and space are not perceived by the vast majority of human societies as a regular continuum and grid, so the [sensorium] is rarely thought of in strictly biological terms . . .The five senses are given different emphases and different meanings in different societies.A certain sense may be privileged as a sensory mode.It is important to analyse how people think they perceive.' Anthony Seeger (1981:80-81).7 This description of a Keiese coffin is based on the model in the collection of the Leiden Volkenkundig Museum (item 'Kei 1889/13').Incidentally, lime is also used for treating corpses in the Kei Islands, at least in myth, where it appears to be credited with the power of arresting putrefaction (Geurtjens 1924:52-55
