Hampatong post head, a protective figure or guardian spirit representing a monkey, made of ironwood, probably Dayak, Kalimantan, Borneo, early 20th century.
Hampatong is a term used among the Dayak to refer to large wooden sculptures, often placed in front of longhouses or community spaces. These hampatongs typically represent ancestors, protective spirits, or warriors, and serve to ward off evil spirits and protect the community. They are often carved with exaggerated features and may have an impressive or aggressive appearance to symbolize their incarnation.
