 You are looking at a superb Dayak stopper/Charm possibly Nagju/Kalimantan? 5″ ~ from a private American collection.Carved from ironwood this example is simply superb!  The seated figure with crossed arms is DEEPLY encrusted with soot from storage and ritual libations from throughout the generations. There are remnants of rattan and organic matter on the base portion of the piece as seen in the photo.  The archaic nature of the sculpture, surface patina, and fact that this piece was in a private collection for many years suggests this is early generation Dayak; not the late or reproduction quality found in Borneo today….ALL OBJECTS MUST BE PAID WITHIN 48 HOURS OF HAMMER.

 You are looking at a fine HARDWOOD Sepik trumpet (Iatmul/Sawos) 19″ APPROX! From a private American collection.  Carved from very hardwood; this expressive and classic trumpet has great presence…  The shells are original as well as the resin on the head which shows some holes from old insertions now gone…  The patina is smokey from being in the mens house near cooking areas.  The patina has areas of handling and the wood shows good oxidation.  The face is REALLY well done in my opinion; totally captures the soul of the region. The circular designs on the trumpet are also well done and carved deeply throughout.ALL OBJECTS MUST BE PAID WITHIN 48 HOURS OF HAMMER….
