- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, West Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Dayak, ca. early 20th century CE. A sizeable and stunning hampatong, or ancestor figure, skillfully hand-carved from a single piece of wood to depict a standing ancestor figure holding a lizard. The towering figure stands nude on a circular plinth displaying a lengthy, slender body, square shoulders, and a sizeable head with incised, target-motif eyes beneath an arched brow, a risen nasal bridge, a triangular nose, and an open mouth with an extending tongue, all flanked by a petite pair of ears. His tongue extends all the way down to the nose of the lizard he holds, who seemingly crawls up his body. A pair of avian creatures stands between his legs, one facing to the front and the other to the back, while a third bird sits atop his head with its beak pointed downwards, as though pecking at his skull. An additional lizard or alligator-like animal crawls up his back. Size: 8.75" L x 8.25" W x 54.5" H (22.2 cm x 21 cm x 138.4 cm); 55.5" H (141 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Long Island, New York, USA estate collection
