Dayak Bird - Mythical bronze beaked figure, half man half bird – patina top bronze and accents of gold small

Impressive mythical object of a skull of a half man half bird-beaked figure. Dayak Indonesia

Material bronze with a brown patina and accents of gold-coloured alloy.

The symbol of the bird runs deep in Dayak culture. Some are said to bring omens of agricultural bounty, the feathers of others are donned during ritual headhunting festivals. This eerie skull in 100% recycled bronze carries centuries of ethnic tradition, and maybe some omens of its own.

Sustainability
Our bronze sculptures are made from upcycled metals such as old pipelines. Our craftsmen and women collect this scrap waste which they then put in an oven at very high temperatures. Once the scrap waste pieces melt, the new raw material is ready to be used. We then use this virgin material to make our bronze sculptures. As bronze is a very eco and labour intensive material to mine, we feel it makes much more sense to reuse the material that has already been created than to extract it – again. By doing so we are trying to close at least one waste cycle.


Transparency & Who Made It
Lastly, when it comes to our working conditions, we work exclusively with Indonesian craftsmen and women in both Bali and Java. This piece specifically was made in Java, Indonesia. All of our craftsmen and women get paid a living wage that exceeds what Indonesian Law requires. Their income is enough for a comfortable home, food, education, ceremonies, and more.
