In Pursuit of the Origins

On the occasion of Parcours
des Mondes 2022 in Paris we
will exhibit an exceptional
group of early archaic sculp-
tures from Borneo, considered
as some of the most ancient
wooden artefacts in existence.
A hardcover catalogue will be
published in a limited edition,
and an online version will be

available upon request.

THOMAS MURRAY

Lukkus-Pintoan Headhunter Costume
Atayal People, Taiwan

Ramie, raveled trade wool, shell disk beads
19th/early 20th Century

Ex Collection Valerie Hector

48 X 96.5 cm / 19 x 38 inches

Robes of this type are the most important of
all Taiwan Aboriginal costumes

and were exclusively worn by successful
headhunters of the Atayal people.
Exceptionally rare, they were profoundly
labor intensive to create.

The red color represents the Blood of Life,
the linear geometry of the beading,

the Rainbow Path of the Ancestors.

The hand pierced shell beads represent
thousands of hours of stored value.
