Sarawak Iban Chief and Shaman Picture
Here is a photo of a Sarawak Iban Chief and Iban Shaman in full traditional attire taken during one of m early days of visiting the loghouses in the Lemanak River’s interior.
The Iban Chief is on the right of me, of course, and he is about 90+ years old when I took this photo in 2005.
The Iban Shaman showing his tattoos in the photo below, is about 80+ years old. No one could give me an accurate age as there are no birth documents available for them.

These are some of the very few remaining traditional tribe leaders left as most village head descendants have moved on to modernization.
The Iban village is located along the Lemanak River near the Batang Ai Forest Reserve or near the Kalimantan border town of Lubuk Antu, which is about a four to five hours drive from Kuching City in Sarawak.
