Ancient monoxyle sculpture, entering the... - Lot 145 - Ader
Ancient monoxyle sculpture, entering the family of objects whose function remains a mystery, perhaps a protective charm, representing two small masks superimposed, one of which in the lower part with a pointed nose is barely sketched, this sculpture testifies to a very ancient stone cutting often qualified by the term "pre-contact". Sepik, Papua New Guinea Hard wood, vegetable fibers, very beautiful and old patina of use H. 30 cm Provenance: - Collected by Pierre Langlois and Marcel Évrard in 1959-60 - Former collection of Marcel Évrard
