Handle from an Awl
Dayak (Bahau) Borneo, Indonesia
19th Century
The Dayak take great pride in their utilitarian objects and carve beautiful handles for their weaving tools such as this Awl. The design is classic with finely carved stylized Aso dragons cascading around the handle. The patina is deep from extensive handling. In excellent condition.
This Awl stands 4 inches tall.
