- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Timor & Borneo, Dayak, ca. 19th century CE. A fine collection of 4 hand carved wooden, bovine bone, and iron tools and figurines. The first is a hand-carved wooden betel nut pestle with an iron spatula-shaped rod and a wooden finial in the form of a zoomorphic creature with a buffalo bone inlaid on the back of the head. The next is a three-pronged hair comb or ornament carved from wood with a rounded handle. The third item is a wooden amulet or talisman for protection or as a shamanic charm, in the form of a standing human animal hybrid, with a large feline or dog head. Figures like these were used in divining as part of the traditional religion of the Dayak people. The last is a wooden Dayak pig trap charm known as a tun tun, used to capture wild animals. This tun tun is a stylized ancestral figurine the form of a man with his arms and legs outstretched in front of his seated body, and he was likely the finial on a longer rod. Size of largest: 7.75" L x 1.5" W (19.7 cm x 3.8 cm); 8.5" H (21.6 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Ami Brown collection, New York City, USA, 1950-1970
