DAYAK
a Classic HUDOQ Mask
This is a Classic Old HUDOQ ceremonial mask from the Kayan Dyak clans of Borneo / Kalimantan / Indonesia.
This
is the very best example of the type that I have ever offered , with a
fierce stylized mask face in bold black , red and white colors , and
full dance regalia still attached.
The
mask is estimated to be a early to mid century example , most likely it
is over 50 years of age. The Brass eyes are stunning , there is also
some tribal repair by sewing rattan on a split to one ear.
The mask and basket measure 22 inches tall x 17 inches wide , not counting the Avian regalia above the basket.

of that style.
The Pole is well weathered and burned on the bottom , it
may have served as part of a Shrine , a marker post for a sacred area ,
the original purpose of this object is unknown , but it is clearly an
old and field used ritual object.
The post measures 29 1/2
inches tall X 6 inches wide and has been professionally mounted to a
