Old Dayak Deer Horn Charm

Dayak Deer Horn Charm

This intricately carved charm is a traditional artifact of the Dayak people of Borneo, crafted from deer horn. The piece features two humanoid figures seated opposite each other in an intertwined pose, seemingly engaged in a symbolic interaction. Their elongated headdresses, exaggerated facial features, and expressive gestures suggest deep cultural significance, possibly linked to spiritual beliefs, ancestral reverence, or shamanistic practices.

The charm’s symmetrical design, with the figures seamlessly merging into one another, showcases masterful craftsmanship. The natural patina of the material indicates age and use, reinforcing its role as a ritualistic or protective talisman. The hollowed-out base suggests it may have been attached to another object, worn as an ornament, or used in ceremonial contexts.
