36 cm Carved Wooden Hornbill in Multicolor

Hand-Carved Hornbill (M)

Acacia Wood | Borneo / Dayak Artistic Tradition

A striking contemporary interpretation of the hornbill, meticulously hand-carved from a single piece of dense acacia wood and finished in a vivid palette of red, yellow, blue, black and white.

The sculptor has translated the characteristic profile of the hornbill into an expressive, highly stylised form. Its elongated bill, raised crest, sweeping wings and dramatic curled tail are articulated through bold, rhythmic carving. The layered plumage is particularly distinctive, with individually carved feather forms creating a sense of movement and visual depth.

The combination of strong geometric colour and flowing organic contours reflects the enduring importance of the hornbill as a powerful visual symbol within the artistic traditions of Borneo, where hornbills are associated with prestige, vitality, protection and the upper spiritual realm.
