Early 20th C. Dayak Wood / Bone Tattoo Set - Dragon

Item Details

Description

Indonesia, Borneo, Central Kalimantan, Dayak peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. Two hand-carved Dayak wooden (likely ironwood) and deer bone tattoo tools. One features a handsome dragon finial carved from deer horn. The details of its visage - carved on both sides - are quite impressive and fierce. What's more, the dragon's tongue is actually a sharp metal needle wrapped with a cotton thread but still revealing the point. Completing the pair of tools is a mallet used to hit the tattoo implement. In Dayak society, tattoos were an important marker of social status and accumulated experience, and the tools used to make them were works of art in and of themselves! Size: tool with dragon finial measures 12" L (30.5 cm); spatula measures 8.125" L (20.6 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Hawaii, USA collection, acquired in 2012
