Hermès - Kelly 28 in Aligator from 1996 - No Reserve Price - Handbag
Funeral Wooden Heads - Si Gale Gale - Batak - Indonesia (No Reserve Price)
No. 84626651
Deze uit hout gesneden hoofden gekleurd met bruine en zwarte okers is van een Batak-pop of si gale-gale.
Si-gale-gale speelde een belangrijke rol bij begrafenisrituelen onder de Batak-bevolking in Noord Sumatra. Ceremonies waarbij ze werden gebruikt waren langdurig, duur en konden alleen door de rijken worden betaald. Er wordt aangenomen dat het gebruik van dergelijke poppen zijn oorsprong vindt in de begrafenisrituelen voor overleden personen die kinderloos waren.
De hoofden hebben een fijne patina. Hoewel deze items tekenen van gebruik vertonen (kleine verliezen, scheuren, inheemse reparaties), beschikken ze over een fantastisch decoratie. Ze komen op een op maat gemaakte stand waarbij ze ongeveer 17cm hoog zijn en 14 cm breed. De item los meten ca 13x6x6cm
