FEATURED
Dayak Baby Carrier - 11" x 13" x 5"
A richly adorned Dayak baby carrier from Borneo, made with a wooden frame, woven fiber body, resist-dyed cloth lining, and a densely beaded front panel. The design is worked in glass beads with bold yellow, white, black, red, and blue motifs, likely representing protective ancestral or spirit forms.
Among Dayak peoples, baby carriers were both practical and symbolic. Worn on the back, they held the child securely while also serving as objects of protection, status, and family care. Beadwork, shells, bone ornaments, charms, and bells were often added not only for decoration, but to help guard and engage the infant.
A beautiful example of Dayak material culture, balancing utility, protection, sound, and sculptural presence.
Beautiful Beadwork from Central & West Africa
DEAL OF THE MONTH
Baluch Saddle Bag - 1'10 x 4'3
A richly textured saddle bag from Afghanistan with silky wool, woven in a dark, atmospheric palette of deep brown, black, aubergine, red, and indigo tones. The design is arranged in vertical bands with small geometric motifs, zigzag borders, diamond forms, and subtle embroidered details.
Both functional and decorative, this Baluch saddle bag has a moody graphic presence and works beautifully as a wall hanging, layered textile, or collectible nomadic weaving.
