拍品描述 翻译
Papua New Guinea, East Sepik Province, early to mid-20th century. The wooden stool is boldly carved and skillfully painted with natural earth pigments, the enormous oval head pierced with small apertures at the sides, the eyes inlaid with conus shell, the hooked nose pierced suspending shell rings, the chest adorned with a necklace decorated with hemp fiber, backed by the plainly carved stool and surrounded by three smaller figures of musicians wearing raffia loincloths. Provenance: A private collection in Italy, acquired in the 1970s, and thence by descent. Antichita' La Balaustra, Bologna, Italy, 1997. Collection of Paolo Bertuzzi, acquired from the above. A copy of a certificate written by Giuliana Zanetti of Antichita' La Balaustra, addressed to Paolo Bertuzzi, dated 5 September 1997, and confirming the dating and provenance above, accompanies this lot. Paolo Bertuzzi (1943-2022) was a fashion stylist from Bologna, Italy. He was the son of Enrichetta Bertuzzi, founder of Hettabretz, a noted Italian fashion company with customers such as the Rothschild family, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Paolo Bertuzzi later took over his mother's business and designed exclusive pieces, some of which were exhibited in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, USA. He was also an avid collector of antiques for more than 60 years. His collection includes both archaic and contemporary art, and he edited two important books about Asian art, Goa Made - An Archaeological Discovery, about a large-scale archaeological project carried out with the Italian and Indonesian governments, and Majapahit, Masterpieces from a Forgotten Kingdom.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, traces of use, and natural imperfections including age cracks and fissures with associated old fills. Few small losses, minor flaking and rubbing to pigments, scattered light scratches. Displaying exceptionally well.Weight: 31 kgDimensions: Height 135 cmIn Iatmul societies, disputes and controversies over agricultural possessions or ancestral lineage were traditionally resolved through oratory gatherings in the Men's House. At the center of this space stood a post representing the clan ancestor, supporting the structure. Beside it was the lectern, symbolizing the younger brother of the ancestor. When a man wished to speak, he would approach the lectern and begin his discourse. In the local vernacular, these speaker's lecterns were called Kawa Tikit, meaning 'seat of leaves', a reference to the orator's expressive gesture of energetically scattering leaves onto the lectern's surface to emphasize his words.These verbal jousts were an opportunity for men to showcase their extensive knowledge. Anthropologist Gregory Bateson observed that in a single evening, orators could recall and recite between ten and twenty thousand polysyllabic names, and their erudition in totemic systems was a source of immense pride for the entire village (Naven: A Survey of the Problems Suggested by a Composite Picture of the Culture of a New Guinea Tribe Drawn from Three Points of View, 1936, p. 137). Similarly, Milan Stanek documented these intellectual performances, noting an instance where an orator named Agrembe recited 600 names from his Wenguansap clan, along with over 150 names from the Yatmel clan. His performance was particularly remarkable as he spoke alone, surpassing the efforts of other orators (Stanek, Das System der Eigennamen und die Erscheinungsformen der Ahnen, 1983, p. 175, cited in Sepik: Arts of Papua New Guinea, 2016).Carved from dense hardwoods to ensure durability, these lecterns were among the most valued possessions of the community. They were also prominently displayed during significant ceremonies, such as the launch of a war canoe or consultations before a headhunting expedition.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related Iatmul orator's stool, dated early to mid-20th century, 136.5 cm high, in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, accession number IA161.1962. Compare a closely related Iatmul orator's stool, dated mid-20th century, 122 cm high, in the National Gallery of Australia, accession number 2008.173.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's Paris, 16 December 2022, lot 13 Estimate: EUR 18,000 or approx.
