| <ul><li>The design tattooed on the wrists is termed <i><b>lukut</b></i>, i.e. an antique bead much valued by the Kayans, and the significance of the designs is of some interest. When a man is ill, it is supposed that his soul has escaped from his body, and when he recovers it is supposed that his soul has returned to him; to prevent its departure on some future occasion the man will "tie it in" by fastening around his wrist a piece of string on which is threaded a lukut or antique bead, some magic apparently being considered to reside in the bead. However, the string can get broken and the bead lost, wherefore it seems sager to tattoo a representation of the bead on the part of the wrist which it would cover if actually worn. It is of interest to note also that the lukut from having been a charm to prevent the second escape of the soul has come to be regarded as a charm to ward off all disease, and the same applies to its tattooed representation.
