This ceremonial adze comes from Palembang, Sumatra, Indonesia, and dates to the early 20th century. It is made from rattan, wood, and metal, and was likely used in rituals rather than for practical work. The adze features detailed wickerwork and fine woodcarving, with a rich, aged patina. It’s in good condition. An authentic tribal object, sourced from a Dutch auction house.
