3 Borneo Dayak Bamboo Medicine Container

The three objects depicted in the images are traditional Dayak Bidayuh medicine containers from East Borneo. These containers are made primarily from bamboo and feature elaborately carved wooden stoppers. Each container served both a functional and symbolic role in traditional Dayak healing practices, often used to store herbal mixtures or spiritual substances.

Among the Bidayuh and other Dayak groups, such containers are not merely utilitarian. The carvings on the stoppers serve ritual and symbolic purposes, often intended to ward off malevolent spirits, bless the medicine, or honor ancestors.
