拍品描述 翻译
A FINELY CARVED WOOD ANCESTRAL MOTHER FIGURE, LESSER SUNDA ISLANDS, EAST TIMOR, LATE 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY, HEIGHT 150 CMFinely carved standing with slightly flexed knees, the arms drawn upward and curled around the breasts, the compact figure displays a carefully organized decorative scheme. At the upper central register, a splayed mythical figure is neatly depicted in relief. The distended abdomen is centered by a large circular roundel, from which four further splayed figures radiate from the navel, encircled by a beaded band. The entire composition is framed within crisply defined geometric borders, reinforcing the rhythmic clarity of the design.The face, conceived in a helmet-like form, is marked by a straight nose, circular eyes, and a short, straight mouth, lending it a stylized, almost abstract presence. It rises from a tall, stout neck articulated with incised beaded bands. The figure is surmounted by a pedestal supporting a curled, stylized bird shown preening its feather, an animated counterpoint to the otherwise frontal and hieratic stance.Provenance: Father Akerboom, Missionarii Sacratissimi Cordis Jesu (MSC). The private collection of Jac Hoogerbrugge, Netherlands, acquired from the above. Copies of inventory notes by Jac Hoogerbrugge in Dutch, confirming the provenance above, as well as of a hand drawn sketch of the present lot by Hoogerbrugge accompany the lot. The Missionarii Sacratissimi Cordis Jesu (MSC, Missionaries of the Sacred Heart), popularly known as 'Rooi Harten', have been a large part of the Tilburg missionary society for over 150 years. From the Netherlands, the MSC organized extensive missionary work, particularly in Indonesia (Moluccas, Celebes, Java), New Guinea, the Philippines, and Brazil. Father Akerboom was a member of the congregation of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in Tilburg. He collected and sold tribal art on behalf of the congregation. Jac Hoogerbrugge (1923-2014) was an astute collector and connoisseur of tribal art. Serving as a transport agent and, subsequently, as a United Nations official in Indonesia and New Guinea allowed him to probe deeply into the ritual art of the Batak (North Sumatra), Lake Sentani, the Humboldt Bay, the Asmat (New Guinea), and the Dayak (Borneo). Later in life, having returned to the Netherlands, he continued to hunt out items of ethnographic interest in flea markets, at auctions, but also by means of his excellent connections in missionary circles and with former colonials. At the same time he explored colonial and missionary archives in order to contextualize and document the objects he found.Condition: Very good condition with expected ancient wear, natural age cracks, small losses, chips, and minor signs of weathering. Overall with a fine, naturally grown, dark patina.Weight: 15.4 kg Dimensions: Height 149.6 cmEast Timor produced a distinctive corpus of monumental wood sculpture associated with ancestral veneration and the sacred house (uma lulik), the ritual and genealogical center of the community. Figures of this type were conceived as vertical, architectonic presences mediating between lineage ancestors and the living, their stacked composition articulating a symbolic axis linking terrestrial and celestial realms.The pronounced abdomen, here marked with a radiating navel motif, underscores themes of fertility, generative power, and ancestral continuity central to Timorese cosmology. The tall cylindrical neck encircled by dense geometric incision recalls the layered ornamentation of ceremonial textiles, while the restrained helmet-like face with drilled circular eyes and projecting nose corresponds to sculptural types documented in eastern and northern Timor, including Atauro Island.Auction result comparison: Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's Paris, 11 December 2013, lot 66Price: EUR 49,500 or approx. EUR 60,000 (for two) adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: Pair of statues, Atauro, Lesser Sunda Islands, East TimorExpert remark: Compare the closely related modeling of the face and related tall headdress. Note the size (245 cm and 220 cm).
