Beautiful Dayak Brass Container

This beautiful Dayak brass container was bought from Lachau, Sarawak. Lachau or Pekan Lachau is well known for stopovers with tourists on route visiting the original Iban longhouses near Lubuk Antu or Batang Ai (where the Longhouse Hilton is located). It is also a favourite toilet stop for drivers and also visitors on this long journey. However, on the weekends, this place thrives with local activity like a day market with locals selling all sorts of local products and crafts.

This brass container is believed to be used for the exchanging gift ceremony for the Dayak people during the wedding ceremony.

Height : 20cm, Diameter : 23cm
