Chapter 18: Minangkabau

Chapter Description:
The word "Minangkabau" is derived from the term menang, which means victory and kabau refers to the buffalo, kerbau. That's how the Minangkabau people in Sumatera get their name. And that is why they fashion their women's head gear and carve the roofs of their houses in the upward-curving shape of buffalo horns - to imitate the horns of the baby buffalo that they carved during the historical match.
THE END.
