IBAN DAYAK, Sarawak, Borneo, Indonesia. A very old ironwood mortar used to prepare medicines for rituals. More than just a utilitarian object, it has become a memory object thanks to the incredible patina that preserves in its veins the traces of repeated use, the hands that have touched it and the passage of time. Length: 35 cm. Height: 15 cm. Provenance: Collected in situ in 1970 by Jacques Cortecero on the River Baram.
