Sarawak, Sea Dayak maidens
S.W. Singapore card #410, unused, from roughly 1970s. Great on the front, aging significantly on reverse. Scenes like this, we feel, must be disappearing rapidly in modernizing Sarawak. Grade: 2

Dayaks dancing in the Long House
Four of these cards are available. They represent nearly the ultimate in semi-contemporary (1970s) Borneo cards. The word “Dayak” is definitely out of style now. Two cards were mailed in 1990, and have Sarawak stamp and full postmark (Grades: 1, $14) but note that though the photos are the same, the captions on reverse are different and so are the publishers. One was mailed in 1984 with three different stamps and illegible postmarks (Grade: 2, $12). The other card was never mailed and is aging but in good condition (Grade: 1, $12).

Code: 20316436

Sarawak, ritual dance with human skulls
Eight unused and one mailed SW Singapore SR7909 cards are available, likely from the 1970s. This ritual is perfectly in keeping with Sarawak and other Borneo traditions but still it can be jarring to see it on a postcard, so we provide the complete caption: “Ritual dance by Dayak girls holding human skulls near a long-house, Sarawak 2nd Division, Sarawak, E. Malaysia”. We want to call these bizarre postcards but they do represent a living theme so we will call them cultural postcards instead. The eight unused cards: Grades: 1, $39. The other card was mailed in 1984 with three different stamps but no readable postmark; corner battering, and creasing, and blue airmail sticker affixed: Grade: 3, $35.

This 5″ x 7″ card is not at all the conventional view of a longhouse. (Think about “long”.) Card was mailed sometime in the 1980s and the stamp is there, but only a small bit of postmark. There is however the Malaysian postal system’s orange bar code at bottom reverse. Grade: 3
