Newer Dayak Aso Weights

•Location- Borneo - Kalimantan (Indonesia) or Sarawak (Malaysia) 

• A beautiful pair of traditional-style Dayak ear weights featuring the iconic Aso, a mythical dragon-like creature found throughout the art and ornamentation of Borneo. Cast in brass, these weights feature elaborate curling forms, prominent spiral details, and expressive stylized heads. Their surfaces display a rich, naturally aged appearance, with darkened recesses contrasting against the warmer golden tones of the brass. We acquired these pieces in Borneo. While their exact age is unknown, we believe they are relatively recent examples, likely made within the last 30- 40 years rather than antique pieces.

• Each weight measures approximately 1-3/8" × 1-7/8" and weighs approximately 39 grams.
