The Konyak term "weetang ak shong" for such a skull means "celebrating the head of an enemy". When a warrior brought a head to his village, a pig was slaughtered for the necessary ceremonies. The pig's skull was tied together on behalf of the killed person to show that it too was bound forever. The warrior was allowed to display it in front of his house.
