(184) Text Appearing After Image: PLATE 33 When a person of ladangyang rank is placed in the death chair he is dressedin the costume of that rank. These bodies are sometimes kept in the chair foras many as 13 or 15 days. At the right of the picture may be seen the momvahiwa(primitive undertaker), whose business it is to care for the body and finally tocarry it on his shoulders to the sepulchre on the mountain side. For theseservices he receives a very trifling compensation. Note that the treatment ofthe bodies of those dead from natural causes is very different from the treatmentof the bodies of the murdered or those dead by violence. The former are showngreat care and respect; the latter are neglected and bereft of the usual dignitiesof death. (186) UNIV, CALIF. PUBL. AM. ARCH. & ETHN. VOL. 15 (BARTON) PLATE 33
