This is the most beautiful puppet head I have ever come across. It had been acquired from a private collection by the late Ulrich Kortmann and then passed to me. Its expression, slightly saddened, does not directly refer to Indonesian woodcarvings, but has something classic and universal. It is made of very heavy and dense wood (weighs 2 800 g), painted black.It has goat's hair, two small antlers, and still retains one of the two brass earrings it originally had. Has a little crack going all down its left side and has a wooden functional moovable dowel pin at the neck..
Just as Kortmann had not mentioned anything about the time of its construction, so do I, though it appears to date from around 1970's . So, please, bid in accordance, focusing rather on the aesthetics.
Measures 41 x 24 x 14 cm.
Informations about function of these puppets and their role at the Si Gale Gale funeral customs can be easiy found at the net. In short they are connected with men who died without leaving a male heir.
An amazing piece!!!

Will be send in a registered parcel by Hellenic Post.

Risposta del venditore

Thank you dear neigbour!. Glad that you like it!!!

Bel objet, envoi rapide, malheureusement tres mauvais emballage, les pierres se sont entrechoquées et l'une d'elle est brisée, non respect de l'objet (valeur ethnologique) ni de l'acheteur, dommage

Risposta del venditore

Everything could have been arranged, but the buyer preferred to rush and send a negative feedback. He seems to have a greater appreciation of ethnology than I do for a lifetime. Dommage!!!

objet conforme à la descritpion et à mes attentes. Très bonne communication du vendeur. Envoi rapide et protégé
