Dayak guardian figure post crafted from ironwood. The elongated figure serves as the crowning element of a wooden pole originally intended to be planted in the ground, with the purpose of safeguarding the village from malevolent spirits. There are traces of erosion above the figure's head and on the base supporting its feet.
To provide additional context, the Dayak people are indigenous to Borneo and have a rich cultural heritage. In their tradition, statuary often holds a significant role, acting as protective symbols and embodying spiritual significance within the community.
