Samenvatting	In this pioneering study of the great stoneware jars of Borneo--the treasured heirlooms (Pusaka) of many Bornean households--Harrisson unravels the secrets and mysteries of these ceremonial jars. Through her stimulating discussions of the modes of production, the literature on the subject, and archaeological finds, a composite picture emerges that shows the jars' origins, establishes a classification of jar-types, and reflects many facets of popular Bornean culture as revealed by the trade in jars, their history and the lore that surrounds them.
