Description: Ceremonial poles were carved from single tree trunks, usually of hard wood, by the Orang Ulu communities in Belaga and Baram areas for their rituals in connection with headhuntings, farmings and initiation for young men in the past.

Before these people were converted to Christianity, they carved these poles and erected them in front of their longhouses.

During such ceremonies especially the “save”, men who participated in the rituals had to eat plain rice on banana leaves for 5 consecutive days, to abstain from any contact with women or indulge in any act that would provoke the deities protecting them. By observing such taboo, it was believed that the men would strengthen their souls, and make the brave in battles, as well as, to ask the deities for good harvests and for protection of the longhouse community from evil spirits.

Ceremonial poles have a range height of 1 foot to several meters tall. This pole is carved from a single tree trunk, adorn with Anthropomorphic and "Tree of life" motifs.

Please view my photos below to appreciate, thanks.
