Description

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Borneo, Ibanic Dayak or Sea Dayak people, ca. early to mid-20th century CE.

The symmetrical handle is sculpted with several indentations on each side to allow for an easier grip. A rich chocolate brown patina envelops the entirety of this fascinating implement! Size: 8.3" W x 70.1" H (21.1 cm x 178.1 cm)
