パプア州南ヤペン島のクラシックなコルワル像 - カルワル - Geelvink湾の人々 - 西パプア (No reserve price)

A large wooden korwar figure from Ansus village on Yapen Island, in the Geelvink Bay region of West Papua. The figure has an imposing head with a projecting nose, rounded eyes and a strong angular profile. Below it, the arms curve forward around an openwork body, giving the carving depth and a striking silhouette from the side. Korwar figures are associated with ancestors in the artistic traditions of Geelvink Bay. This example is especially expressive in its broad head and bold, open construction. The wood shows surface wear, losses and visible cracks, including a split at the base, all of which should be considered part of its condition. A substantial and visually compelling carving from Ansus, with the sculptural presence to form a centrepiece in a collection of Oceanic art. Will be packed with care We send worldwide ADRIAAN VAN DIS besprak mijn beide boeken, dus ook het recente ‘Ik droomde dat je kwam’ Een prachtig en meeslepend boek vol verhalen over Papua, met een bijzondere mix van avontuur, cultuur en persoonlijke ontmoetingen. De auteur neemt je mee van Raja Ampat tot de Asmat, van Yapen tot de Vogelkop, in een warme en levendige vertelstijl. Inclusief fotokatern van Roy Villevoye. Prijs: €22,95 Gesigneerd exemplaar Kan worden meegezonden met de verzending, dus geen extra verzendkosten. Wordt het niet meegezonden, dan komt er €4,- bij.
