For the Dayaks, the soul of a baby can easily leave the body if it is not held.
The creation of beaded works also richly decorated with complex patterns will thus allow to keep benevolent spirits near the baby, while the bells, artefacts, or large glass beads, attached by the ancients, allow to chase away malicious spirits who would like misguide the soul of the infant.
