View translationFigure - Funerary post - Wood - Belanda Boor - 96 cm - Bahr El Ghazal - Sudan
No. 89927209
Ancient funerary post from Belanda Boor tribe, South Sudan.
Dimensions: width: 23 cm. Height: 96 cm. Depth: 17.5 cm. Weight: 5.4 kilos.
Estimated age: 1920.
Provenance and history of the piece:
collected on 1958 close to Sue river, Sudan, Bahr El Ghazal province, nowadays South Sudan, Western Bahr El Ghazal province, by comboni father Elvio Gostoli. Acquired with a bunch of other funerary posts from South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo and a group of Bongo stones from father Elvio Gostoli on 2010.
Overall condition: the statue shows deep erosion due to many years of wind, strong sun, rain, white ants. The wood (mahogany) is very hard, solid and heavy. Minor cracks are located all over the surface, as well as many signs of erosion, but the statue is still well preserved and looks amazing. General wear is evident.
This is an unique museum piece, of inestimable value, not easy to find of this age, and not easy to find of this beauty.
A true, unquestionable masterpiece.
A professional invoice with a picture of the object, as well as the aforementioned description, will be delivered with the lot.
