Øresmykker - burung enggang subang - Kenyah Dayak - Indonesien

This antique earring is crafted from bone and features intricate carvings in a traditional style. It is from Kenyah Dayak, a people group from North Kalimantan, Borneo. It measures 8 x 4.5 cm and the depth varies. The top section that disappears into the ear is 6 cm deep, while the rest is 2.5 cm deep. The earring was found and taken in 1934 by Frances Bouck and placed in his collection. Upon his death, the collection was offered as Bouck Estate. A large portion of this collection came into my possession, and I am now offering items for sale through this auction. Please feel free to contact me if you are still looking for items such as split skulls, skulls, hornbills, shell currency, etc. Please note: Due to the dimensions of the earring and the stand, I have to ship it as a medium package. This item contains materials that are protected under CITES regulations, Appendix II, Annex B. Therefore, it is not possible to ship it outside the EU. If you live in a country outside the EU, please DO NOT bid on the item as it cannot be shipped to you. If you bid from a country outside the EU, the purchase cannot be cancelled.
