An old collection of my own, made back in the 1970's. It was before a sacred "Kenyalang" for ritual purposes placed at the "Sadau" before placing it at the "Ruai" / chief varendah.
A ceremony to drive away bad spirits is seen with head trophy or skull of the longhouse taken down from their clusters. Shortly after the skulls have been brought to the feast chief’s varendah, one man kills a chicken and smears its blood on the sacred hornbill statue. Rice wine is served and the feast begin. A very similar ritual to some of my old textiles, the pua kumbu.
The statue is made from medium hardwood and hand painted, adorn with an overview of the typical Dayak livelihood in Borneo. From tail's end, a five men are seen taking their roles in the "Ngajat" dance accompanied by a "Tawak" gong at the longhouse's varendah with two invited guest sitting at the "Ruai". . . Base of hornbill is decorated with an "Aso" feasting on a man.
The paints still looking good, it is absolutely beautiful, more beautiful in real life and a stunning collection for dining to guest hall and even your garden. Please do not expose it to outdoor weather as I have never done so, it will destroy the bird. The bird is detachable at head, tail and both wings, please view photos below to appreciate, thanks.
