English-French-Dutch-German:


Marsupial rodents have only four incisors, making large necklaces a symbol of the wearer's hunting prowess. These body ornaments were worn by both men and women.


Les rongeurs marsupiaux n'ont que quatre incisives, ce qui fait des colliers de grande taille un symbole de l'habileté du porteur à la chasse. Ces ornements corporels étaient portés par les hommes et les femmes.


Buideldieren hebben slechts vier snijtanden, waardoor grote kettingen een symbool zijn van de jachtvaardigheid van de drager. Deze lichaamsornamenten werden gedragen door zowel mannen als vrouwen.


Beutelratten haben nur vier Schneidezähne, wodurch große Halsketten zu einem Symbol für die Jagdfähigkeiten des Trägers wurden. Diese Körperschmuckstücke wurden sowohl von Männern als auch von Frauen getragen.
