Melanau Fishing Charm Suk

A Melanau “suk” is a traditional fishing charm used by the Melanau people of Sarawak, Malaysia. These charms are crafted from wood or other natural materials and are intricately carved with symbolic designs meant to attract fish and ensure a bountiful catch. The suk is often blessed by a shaman or elder, imbuing it with spiritual significance and protective qualities. Used by fishermen, the suk reflects the Melanau’s deep connection to their environment and their reliance on fishing as a vital part of their livelihood.
