A DAYAK DEER ANTLER ANTHROPOMORPHIC FIGURE, HAMPATONG, EAST KALIMANTAN, BORNEO, LATE 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY

Indonesia. Finely carved from the antler of a Sambar deer (Rusa unicolor) and shown seated atop a short circular base, holding a small vessel at the chest with both hands. The wide almond-shaped eyes are incised with large pupils centered by a long narrow nose above thick pouting lips, flanked by C-shaped ears, one suspending a long pendulous earring, the head covered by a tall crown deeply incised with foliate designs.

Provenance: From the Fauque de Jonquières family collection, France. An old collector’s label to the base is inscribed, ‘Bornéo. “Deer Horn”. Art Dayak, East Kalimantan, 1982’.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and natural imperfections. Few nicks, tiny scratches, and minuscule losses. One tiny chip to the right ear.

Weight: 87.2 g
Dimensions: Height 12.2 cm

The general name Dayak includes all the peoples native to the inland area of the island of Borneo, who principally settled in the Sarawak and Kalimantan regions. The term underpins a cultural identity that may be attributed to a broad variety of ethnicities including such diverse, distinct peoples as the Iban, Kayan, Kenyah, Ngaju, and Ot Danum.

Among the most important artistic Dayak creations are anthropomorphic figures. Known as hampatong, they assert a great variety of styles reflecting an array of ceremonial or propitiatory functions. Depending on their dimensions and selected locations - for each one could be placed in front of a ceremonial lodge, at a village crossroads or on a riverbank -, they could perform important functions of protection, commemoration or representation of an ancestor.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related deer antler handle for a sword carved with the figure of an aso, 14 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 2013.1137.32. Compare a related bone handle for a metal tool, 13.5 cm long, in the Yale University Art Gallery, loan number ILE2019.12.432.
