A WOOD GUARDIAN FIGURE ''HAMPATONG'' Borneo, probably North, Sarawak or Sabah, Malaysia, Iban-Dayak (?), first half of 20th c. H. 220 cm ( o.S.) Hampatong (patong: statue) are statues made of durable wood that are erected on Borneo within the Dayak cultures around the inhabited and cultivated areas as protection and remembrance. They demarcate the human sphere from the divine (the primeval forests, mountains, etc.) and keep demons away. This hampatong is a rarity and differs significantly from the more common ancestor, dragon and mother figures. A standing, fully sculpted figure wearing a detailed uniform is carved out of an ironwood trunk (belian). It is probably a depiction of a native soldier who was recruited to fight the Japanese occupying forces during the Second World War. For the Dayak, especially the warlike Iban of Sarawak, military service in the foreign service is just as much ‘warriorism’ as the traditional ritualised tribal feud (with headhunting). The figure stands on a partially fluted pedestal, which shows fright masks (hudoq) inscribed in tumpal triangles as well as funerary urn motifs. The tumpal and the urn symbolise the connection between the lower and middle worlds (human world). Furthermore, stylised human forms and buffaloes can be recognised in actions and contexts that cannot be interpreted with certainty (probably agriculture and harvest). From an old German private collection, assembled in the 1950s - Minor traces of age, slightly chipped and age cracks, mounted
