Among the Kenyah and other Dayak peoples of Borneo, ear ornaments of cast solid brass were signs of prestige and power. Many such ornaments served both as ear pendants and as weights, designed to help stretch the earlobes to exaggerated lengths. These would have stretched the ear lobes to a remarkable length. Thereafter, great care was needed to prevent the ear lobe from breaking.
Women tended to stretch their ear lobes much more than men, it was considered effeminate for a Dayak man to have lobes that stretched beyond the shoulders.
