A BRONZE 'GODDESS' SHAMANISTIC PLAQUE, FINNO-UGRIC, 9TH-10TH CENTURYNortheastern Europe. Cast in openwork as a frontal goddess standing atop a double-headed mammal with a central skull, flanked symmetrically by two male attendants in profile and surmounted by two bird heads. The figure's facial features are finely incised, with round eyes and a long nose, while the bodies are adorned with belts and bracelets.Provenance: Artemission Gallery, London, United Kingdom. Collection of Acher Eskenasy, Paris, France, acquired from the above. Martin Doustar, Brussels, acquired from the above. Artemission Gallery, based in South Kensington, London, specializes in ancient art from Egypt, the Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, and Central Asia, with more than forty years of experience in the field. Acher Eskenasy is a noted French scholar and collector of Asian and tribal art. Major works previously owned by him are now in important collections and museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. Martin Doustar is a Brussels-based art dealer and collector whose career spans more than two decades. He began his professional journey in the early 2000s with a focus on Modern Art, developing a keen interest in the ways early twentieth-century artists were influenced by 'primitive' art from Africa and Oceania. Over time, his connoisseurship expanded into archaeological and ethnographic fields, with particular expertise in the ancient arts of the Pacific, Africa, and pre-Columbian America, while also encompassing Asian material culture and modern masterpieces. He is the author of numerous scholarly catalogues and has organized thematic exhibitions on a wide range of subjects.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, casting irregularities, tiny nicks, light surface scratches. The bronze with a dark, naturally grown patina with malachite encrustations.Weight: 225 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 12 cm (excl. stand), 16.5 cm (incl. stand)With an associated stand. (2)The present bronze plaque originates from the forested regions of the northeastern Urals, within the Finno-Ugric cultural sphere of the Perm region in northeastern Europe, a zone forming part of a broader artistic continuum extending across the Urals into western Siberia. Situated along the Kama river system, this region functioned as a dynamic point of contact between indigenous forest cultures and the wider Eurasian world, including the Scytho-Sarmatian steppe and Iranian cultural spheres.The plaque belongs to a rare and enigmatic group of Uralic bronze images often described as 'goddess' plaques, powerful anthropomorphic divinities surrounded by animals, birds, and hybrid creatures. Distinct from the more rounded forms of later Permian animal style, these works are characterized by sharper planes, frontal monumentality, and a visual language closely aligned with Scytho-Sarmatian metalworking traditions. Their imagery suggests a highly developed mythological system in which the object functions not as ornament but as a condensed cosmogram.The composition, centered on a frontal figure flanked by attendant animals, reflects the tripartite structure of the cosmos fundamental to northern Eurasian belief systems: a celestial upper realm, a terrestrial middle world, and a chthonic lower domain. Within this framework, the surrounding creatures act not as decoration but as spirit intermediaries, articulating the deity's role as mediator between these spheres.Russian scholarship has further connected these bronze goddess plaques with a broader Eurasian tradition of female divinities from Ishtar and Astarte to Iranian Anahita, Scythian Tabiti, and Greco-Sarmatian forms of Aphrodite, Hestia, Artemis, and Nemesis. The frontal pose, wing-like arms, attendant animals, and hierarchical arrangement of figures all belong to a long iconographic vocabulary of sovereignty, fertility, protection, death, and rebirth. Particularly significant is the suggestion that the Uralic goddess plaques preserve a local transformation of steppe and Near Eastern divine imagery, adapted to the ritual world of the forest-zone peoples of the Kama, Cherdyn, and trans-Ural regions.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bronze goddess plaque, dated to the 8th century, in the Cherdyn Museum of Local History Named After A. S. Pushkin, Illustrated in Boris Ehrenburg, Animal Style, History, Mythology, Album, Perm, 2014, p. 16, fig. 21. Compare three further related bronze goddess plaques, dated to the 7th-8th century, also in the Cherdyn Museum.
