Early 20th C. Important Dayak Reliquary Guardian Figure

Item Details

Description

Indonesia, Borneo, Central Kalimantan, Dayak peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. A standing guardian figure, hand-carved from wood, with clear male genitalia, a rounded belly, and arms raised over his head, holding a platter-style item atop his head. Two round, bead-like red eyes are inset into the face; its only other defining feature is a small slit for a mouth. Figures like these were placed into ossuary shrines in caves, under overhangs, and on cliff ledges, laid on their backs, assisting in rituals to venerate the dead; most are only known from ethnographic accounts from the very early 20th century, and remaining ones are rare. Size: 3.35" W x 9.4" H (8.5 cm x 23.9 cm)
