Combining the functional form of a hair comb with the expressive qualities of a ceremonial ornament, the piece is distinguished by its powerful anthropomorphic mask-like visage rendered in deep relief.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"1071\">The upper section presents a stylized protective face with large circular eyes, sharply defined brows, and an imposing mouth framed by curvilinear motifs. Such imagery is characteristic of Dayak decorative traditions, where guardian figures and spirit beings were frequently incorporated into personal adornments, ceremonial regalia, and architectural elements. The exaggerated features convey strength and vigilance, reflecting traditional beliefs concerning protection, status, and spiritual power.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1855\">Beyond its practical purpose of securing the hair, ornaments of this type served as important markers of identity and cultural affiliation. Worn during ceremonies, communal gatherings, and traditional celebrations, they reflected both aesthetic refinement and the enduring symbolic traditions of Dayak society.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center
