The face, which looks as though it is imprinted at the base of the frond, was spotted by owner Miah Majid, 60, last week.
As word about the tree spread, streams of visitors have been flocking to the kampung [countryside] to look at the tree, which stands at 7.25m. The image faces east.
Miah said it was the second time an unusual shape had appeared on the 10-year-old tree. The first formation was in the shape of an eye, she said.
“The frond will probably last another two weeks. By then it should shed naturally. So far, nobody has asked to keep the frond,” she added.
