Dating to the mid-19th century, this unusual Burmese ceremonial pectoral offers a fascinating glimpse into the ritual traditions and spiritual symbolism of Southeast Asia. A primate skull forms the heart of the piece, its dark, heavily weathered surface suggesting years of exposure to ceremonial smoke, oils, and handling. Two horn elements project from either side, creating a powerful silhouette, while tightly woven rattan binds the skull and horns together with remarkable precision. Carved bone links and a woven cord complete the suspension. The skull’s unusual construction and deep patina speak to an object made for ritual rather than ornament alone. Its combination of organic materials, age, and striking craftsmanship makes it an especially compelling example of Burmese ceremonial art.
