Pictured is an 18th-19th century carved ironwood sculpture with conus shell inserts of Panlih on display in the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas. Panlih is a protective spirit distinguished by a heart-shaped face and vicelike hands with enormous thumbs and multiple fingers. The figure was originally the upper part of a funerary post and the three prongs protruding from the head once held a ceramic jar that contained the bones of a chief or high-ranking aristocrat. It was created by the Bahau-Busang peoples of the Mahakam River region of East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
