Wikipedia: "Usually it is a part of a cultural ritual, aimed at creating a skull shape which is aesthetically more pleasing or associated with desirable attributes such as intelligence. For example, in the Nahai-speaking area of Tomman Island... a person with a finely elongated head is thought to be more intelligent, of higher status, and closer to the world of the spirits."
