Objeto ceremonial na forma de um machado

ca. 100 BCE–300 CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 244
É muito provável que este objeto cerimonial notável, uma obra-prima tanto do ponto de vista conceitual como técnico, era pendurado em uma corda e golpeado como um instrumento de percussão. O desenho central com estrias, similar às protuberâncias da pele de crocodilo, serviam para atar a corda da qual pendia o instrumento. No verso aparece um rosto antropomórfico com faixas em espiral e um desenho com dentes de serra. Este objeto é comparável ao denominado Machado de Makassar do Museu Nacional da Indonésia, encontrado no Sulawesi meridional um século atrás.
