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.
