Description

wood,

The aesthetic outcome of present objects has been as influenced by Mother Nature as by the sculptor himself.
The extremely weathered fragments presumbly depict the “aso”, a composite mythical beast sacred to the Dayak, frequently referred to as a dragon-dog, but also including elements of a crocodile and a hornbill bird.
