About the Artwork
This striking photograph, taken in central Borneo (Kalimantan) between 1900 and 1920, documents a traditional ritual gathering of Dayak people, Indigenous to the island's interior. The men, clad in loincloths and ritual adornments, hold flat ceremonial drums—likely ketebung or gandang—and gather in rhythmic unison before a carved post and buffalo skull, possibly part of a harvest or headhunting festival. Above them, women and children observe from the longhouse veranda. This scene captures both the aesthetic and anthropological richness of Dayak communal life before widespread colonial disruption.
