Thanks Ian,

The zigzag pattern looks like the generic tumpal motif.
In this case maybe it represents male and female reproduction organs (to scare away evil spirits who are afraid of those according to most Dayak beliefs)?
Or maybe I should stop reading Freud?

Another alternative is that maybe it means that it was meant for me (VVV)?
