Belak is a traditional medallion in Timor Leste. In the old days, warriors returning from battles receive Belak on a red thread in honor of their bravery and courage.

Kaibauk is a Timorese headdress worn by village chiefs. Thy are also worn by dancers during traditional ceremonies. It is a sign of leadership. Kaibauk is kept in a village sacred house and can only be taken out of the house with full traditional ceremonies.
