In 1917, at the Dayak kampong Temang, in the district of that name, Mr. C. Moerman, government geologist, saw a brass statue fifteen centimetres high, which appeared to him to be of Hindu origin. When on exhibition it is placed on top of rice which is contained in a brass dish more than twenty-five centimetres in diameter.
