A CARVED WOOD CEREMONIAL COCONUT SCRAPER, ONO NIHA PEOPLE, SOUTHERN NIAS ISLANDIndonesia, North Sumatra, early 20th century. The low stool boldly carved in the form of a mythical animal standing foursquare, the rectangular seat supported on four short legs and with male genitalia rendered beneath the platform. The rear terminating in a raised foliate tail with volute terminals, the front extending into a long upright neck supporting a rounded head. The expressive face marked by bulging eyes, a pointed snout, and a wide open mouth revealing square teeth. The front of the neck carved with a serrated surface intended for grating coconut.A small ancestral figure appears seated on the back, reclining against the animal's neck, the hands gathered at the chest and resting upon bent knees. The large head with schematically rendered features surmounted by a highly abstracted crown connected to a strap encircling the animal's neck.Provenance: From the private collection of Jacques Cortecero, acquired in 1974 in the village of Bawomataluo, Southern Nias Island, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The base inscribed with an old collector's inventory number “NIAS 02-78”. Jacques Cortecero was a passionate collector, adventurer, and avid traveler whose deep connection to the Indonesian archipelago spanned over two decades. His first journey in the early 1970s marked the beginning of an extensive exploration, returning to the archipelago on numerous occasions until his final expedition in 1995. Throughout these travels, Cortecero journeyed from the swampy forests of Borneo to the central plateau of Java, immersing himself in diverse cultures. He ventured from the headhunter warriors of Nias Island to the Asmat people of the Casuarina Coast, and from the Batak shamans of Lake Toba in northern Sumatra to the Dayak tribes. For Cortecero, his collection was far more than a curated selection of art—it embodied the essence of his life's journey. Each piece represented a profound connection to the cultures, traditions, and stories of the Indonesian people, where art is deeply interwoven into the fabric of social, spiritual, and cultural identity. His collection, reflecting decades of exploration and passion, is a testament to an extraordinary life and a unique narrative in the world of Indonesian art.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, traces of use, minor age cracks, light nicks, shallow surface scratches, few small chips. Overall, with a golden-brown, naturally grown patina.Weight: 2,082 gDimensions: Length 48.3 cmAll major stages in the life cycle, including birth, initiation into adulthood, marriage, and death, as well as events concerning the community as a whole, were marked on the island of Nias by an elaborate system of rituals and ceremonial observances. The attainment of status and the public affirmation of wealth, whether by aristocrats or commoners, were commemorated through prescribed ceremonies and sumptuous feasts. These ritual celebrations, intended to honor and propitiate deities and ancestral spirits, encouraged the production of monumental stone sculpture and the creation of finely crafted ceremonial implements.The present seat, carved in the form of a four-legged creature and distinguished by pronounced male attributes, incorporates at the top of the neck a serrated blade used to remove coconut flesh. The exceptional quality of the carving, which recalls the large stone 'osa-osa' seats produced for Owasa merit feasts, together with the presence of a small crowned ancestral figure, indicates that it was likely commissioned for an important ceremonial feast sponsored by a high-ranking aristocrat.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related carved wood coconut scraper, Indonesia, North Sumatra, Southern Nias Island, Ono Niha people, 20th century, 49 cm long, in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, accession number 365.2011.
