Central Kalimantan, Dayak Ngaju
The tree of life: spear-tipped branches point up to the upper world and down to the lower one, rising from a sacred jar. Read as balance between the worlds, and between people and nature.
The best-known motif of benang bintik, the batik of Central Kalimantan, worn as the province’s official cloth.
Pohon kehidupan: cabang bermata tombak mengarah ke dunia atas dan dunia bawah, tumbuh dari tempayan suci. Dimaknai sebagai keseimbangan antardunia, serta antara manusia dan alam.
