Location : Sendawar, Kecamatan Barong Tongkok, Kabupaten Kutai Barat, Kalimantan Timur, Indonesia.
This awesome cultural village was 90% completed when we visited it. At this point of sharing this album the village would be a hive of activities.


The village consisted significantly of 7 major buildings of which the stage was at the far end center surrounded by , in a clockwise direction, Malay house, Kenyah house, Aoheng house, Bahau house, Benuaq house and lastly Tonyooi house. Each unit was characterised by their individual unique motifs.

The main reason why I came to Kalimantan Timur was to do a compilation of Borneo Dayak motifs and this village made my life so much easier, every possible motif in a nutshell. More motif extravaganza in our coming albums.
