Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

The Dayak, the indigenous peoples of Borneo in Indonesia and Malaysia, have a rich tradition of shamanism. Their shamans, often called "belian" or "dukun", play a crucial role in healing, protection rituals and communication with nature spirits. Shamanism is an integral part of their spiritual culture and their connection with their environment.
Black wooden bowl, with a stretched organic shape, shallow interior and slightly sloping sides that rise to form a double lip at one end. The handle is in the shape of an "Aso", a stylized dragon figure whose name in the Kayan language means "dog"; in reality, it evokes the power of the dragon and requires delicate handling. Among the Dayaks, its name cannot be pronounced without invoking its power.
Indonesia, Borneo, Central Kalimantan, Kayanique Dayak people, 19th century.
