Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a giant-sized bubu ikan (fish trap) made of bamboo by the Rungus people in Kudat, Sabah in Borneo. I inquired as to its purpose, and the tribesman guiding us replied that it is not actually for catching fish, but used symbolically when a couple is caught fornicating, they are placed inside this bubu ikan and thrown into the ocean, presumably to die. Asked if it was considered a death sentence, the guide replied that it should be considered "punishment" rather than "execution".
