A CARVED WOOD HOUSE PANEL OF A WARRIOR, PAIWAN, LATE 19TH CENTURY

Taiwan. The rectangular panel carved in low relief to one side with a stylized figure of a warrior holding two snakes in his hands, the knees bowed, the body detailed with blocky feet and hands, his face with almond shaped eyes, the head framed by two snakes writhing with their heads pointed upward. The reverse with two metal loops and a string for suspension.

Provenance: The collection of Nesta and Walter Spink, Ann Arbor, Michigan, acquired before 2001. Walter Spink (1928-2019) was a professor emeritus at the Department of Art History, University of Michigan and a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India, particularly the Ajanta Caves, of which he was said to have “revolutionized the history of the site.” His wife Nesta Spink was a curator at the University of Michigan Museum of Art from 1967 to 1979 and is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. The Spinks were avid collectors of art whose donations to the University of Michigan Museum of Art were the focus of a 2016 exhibit, The Connoisseurs' Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink.
Condition: Very good condition with old wear, signs of weathering and erosion, natural age cracks, few splits, and remnants of ancient pigment.

Weight: 6 kg
Dimensions: Size 90 x 46 cm

The Paiwan (Payuan) are an indigenous people of Taiwan, who live in the Central Mountain Range, from Damumu Mountain and the Wuluo River in the north to the Hengchun Peninsula in the south. According to a myth, Paiwan ancestors lived in a location on Dawu mountain (Tawushan) that was called Paiwan, where heaven was said to exist. Paiwan people have spread out from this place, so the name of the original site was assumed as their group name. According to some, Paiwan also means ‘human being’.

The social system of the Paiwan
consists of three levels: the nobility (aristocrats and landowners), the second-rank nobility, and the ordinary people. Only members of the first rank had the privilege of owning works bearing the sacred motifs of the serpent or the human figure, both considered to represent ancestors. Sculpture is the chartered way for Paiwan aristocrats to distinguish their houses, perceived as the incarnation of the social status, authority, privileges, and existence of a fundamental entity of society.
