Ancestor
Figure
Dayak, Borneo
19th Century
This early Iban ancestor figure is striking from all angles. The heart
shaped face is a very engaging quality, in addition to the sensitively
carved body that exhibits great negative space. The patina on this figure
is simply beautiful. The wood has great depth and color; and from being
handled over a long period of time the surface has become lustrous and
brilliant.
This figure stands 7.5 inches tall
