Hampatong HAND-CARVED SCULPTURE: MAILE Mother & Child

About the Item

Dayak Hampatong Ancestral Figure – Borneo, Indonesia An evocative and rare carved wood figure from the Ban Dayak people of Borneo’s interior rainforests, this Hampatong sculpture depicts Maile—a white child—gracefully entwined with a large reptile carved along the back. Hand-carved from dense hardwood and inlaid with shell, the figure features a rich, natural patina developed over time, enhancing its sense of age and spiritual depth. Traditionally serving as an ancestral protector and spiritual guardian, Hampatong figures like this one are becoming increasingly rare in today’s global antique market. The symbolic presence of the reptile suggests themes of transformation, protection, and reverence within Dayak cosmology. Presented by MWM DESIGN, known for sourcing extraordinary vintage and ethnographic treasures, this piece is a soulful and museum-worthy addition for the discerning 1stDibs collector.

Hand Carved Indian Temple Carving Statue from Gujarat Depicting Mother and Child

Located in Yonkers, NY

An Indian early 20th century hand carved architectural temple carving from Gujarat, depicting a mother and her child with nicely weathered patina. Crafted in the Western portion of India, in the culturally rich state of Gujarat, this early 20th-century hand-carved temple sculpture captures the tender bond between a mother and her child. The mother, adorned with a delicate headdress and detailed clothing and jewelry, stands in a dignified, frontal position. Her small child, clinging affectionately to her flank and grasping her dress, turns his head back towards us, a big smile illuminating his face. This heartwarming scene is beautifully rendered with a keen attention to detail, showcasing the artisan's skill and devotion. The sculpture's nicely weathered patina, along with traces of polychrome, lends it an air of antiquity and authenticity. The piece's unfinished back hints at its original architectural context, meant to be viewed from the front as it adorned a sacred space. Ideal for a variety of settings, this temple carving will enliven any wall, bringing a touch of historical and cultural depth to your home. Its charming depiction of maternal love, combined with its rich textures and colors, makes it a captivating focal point. Whether displayed in a living room, hallway, or study, this early 20th-century Indian temple carving...
