w1: Mask (Hudoq). Wood. H: 15.5", W: 11", D: 5.5". 19th to early 20th century.
Kayanic Dayak complex (Kayan, Bahau, Modang?), East Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Indonesia.

Ex: Dr. Wallace collection, USA. The nose on this mask is unique to my experience.
The ridge of the nose resembles bamboo. The original pigments and ears were removed in situ.
