Antique Dayak Bangle

Dayak Iban Bone Bangle

This is a traditional Dayak Iban bone bangle, an artifact that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Iban people of Borneo. Handcrafted from polished bone, the bangle exhibits a warm, natural patina with a smooth, rounded surface, suggesting age and use.

The bangle’s minimalist yet elegant design is characteristic of Iban craftsmanship, which values both simplicity and symbolic meaning. Such bangles were traditionally worn as status symbols, protective charms, or ritual adornments. The warm brown hues and subtle texture of the material give it an organic, timeless beauty, making it not just an accessory but also a piece of history.

This type of bangle is rare today, often collected as an antique or ethnographic artifact, preserving the artistic traditions of the Dayak Iban people.
