Fantastic ancestral male guardian sculpture (hampatong) belonging to the Dayak people of Indonesian Borneo, featuring removable arms. It boasts a uniquely elongated and slender design, terminating at the bottom in a pointed shape for planting in the ground. The sculpture displays the typical grayish-white coloration associated with such artifacts, along with traces of erosion, particularly on the head and the pointed lower part.

Hampatong, in Dayak culture, holds profound significance as spiritual guardians and protectors. These sculptures are often employed in rituals and ceremonies, symbolizing a connection to the spiritual realm. 

It comes with stand.
