I have found a little brother of my avatar.
Are there forumites who have some info about the age of this model / type of carving ? Best regards, Willem |
Hi Willem!
AWESOME(!!) idea for a topic! I am not in a position to give my opinion on your piece concretely, but it is my impression that the Aso as a carved motif, has developed from a quite vicious looking dog-like creature, to the more cartoon-like dragon we see in contemporary Dayak carving. I would say that your figures look closer to the original dog than the modern "dragon". Look very much forward to hear the opinion of the other Borneo-nerds! Best wishes, - Thor |

Hello Thor,
Thank you for the feedback and encouragement. I hope to get some feedback from UK side or from stamp collectors :confused: ;) A similar statue is depicted on a british stamp from 1955. The larger statue I bought years ago from a UK based seller. The smaller one I recently found in the Netherlands. Best regards, Willem |
