A Dayak Waist Mat, Borneo This finely woven seat mat originates from the Dayak peoples of Borneo, renowned for their rich textile and fibre arts traditions. Crafted from natural plant fibres, likely rattan or pandanus, the mat features a bold geometric design which is a hallmark of Dayak visual language, often echoing motifs found in tattoos, carvings, and woven textiles. Traditionally worn around the waist during ritual or ceremonial occasions, these mats also served a practical role as portable seating within longhouses or during travel.
