Item Details

Description

Carved wood amulet from the Dayak people of Borneo, Indonesia.

Protective amulets of this scale rarely share this level of refinement, with forms being more generalized than specified. Clear evidence of the skill of this artist can be seen in the rendering of the elongated fingers that cross the figure's chest, the way the arms are so carefully separated from the torso and the stance with slightly bent knees.

Integral hoop. Presented on custom base.
