This beautifully handwoven Dayak Kenyah rattan hat is a fine example of traditional Bornean craftsmanship. Woven from finely split rattan, it features a low-domed form decorated with striking black, white, and red painted scroll motifs that are characteristic of Kenyah artistic traditions.

The hat retains its original natural fibre fringe around the crown opening and a vibrant red woven underside. Years of careful use have given the piece a rich natural patina, enhancing its authenticity and character.

Traditionally worn for daily activities, travel, and ceremonial occasions, hats such as this offered protection from the tropical climate while reflecting the wearer’s cultural identity and skilled craftsmanship.
