Item Details
Description
Indonesia, Borneo, East Kalimantan, Tunjung tribe, early 20th century CE. A large, carved wood standing shamanic charm figure with its arms next to its chest. Comes with custom stand. Size: 1" W x 4" H (2.5 cm x 10.2 cm)

Prior to the arrival of missionaries in the dense rainforest of Borneo - and for those not convinced by their message - the Tunjung had shamans who were powerful and esteemed personages within a village, who needed to be consulted for every major village decision and who functioned as healers and advice-givers for individuals within the village.
