    My family was here and we are continuing to divide up family items. My sister chose this totem which my dad had labeled Dyak( he meant Dayak) totem. My sister is interested to see if he was correct , what the characters represent, possible age dyak totum 1.jpg dyak totum 2.jpg dyak totum 3.jpg and how used. I told her I would run it by the experts! Thanks for any info.

    Ha ha my first thought was smoke pipe (obviously wrong:)) Can it stand up right? Yes,size is important. It’s either a very big thing or small feet.
    Good first thought!
