| Summary: | This article focuses on social hierarchy and ethnographic observation research
based on cultural artifacts that are considered to have sacred value in Iban culture
in Sarawak. Sacred artifacts are cultural objects that are believed to have spiritual
values and mystical powers that are capable of protecting and bringing harmony
to their owners if executed according to customs and rituals. This belief is driven
by the ancestral religion of Pengarap Lama and the habitat that has been home
to the Iban community since time immemorial. In proving the critical findings,
qualitative-based research methods have been implemented based on in-depth
observations, interviews, and documentation. The research findings found that
sacred artifacts are still important in the culture of the Iban community even though
they have embraced new religions such as Islam and Christianity. Therefore, in
preserving the significant value of sacred artifacts in Iban culture, this article is an
effort to archive the culture of the various races community in Sarawak, especially
the Iban community. |
