Among the most important artistic Dayak creations are anthropomorphic sculptures known as hampatong, they assert a great variety of styles reflecting an array of ceremonial or protectional functions. The hampatong are placed in front of a ceremonial lodge, at a village crossroads or on a riverbank.
These statues could perform important functions of protection, commemoration or representation of an ancestor.
This one is from the eastern tribes of Borneo (Modang) and carved in a heavy piece of ironwood showing weathered patina with traces of lichen. It was possibly open in de jungle when plants were growing out.
