拍品描述 翻译
A PAIR OF WOOD KORWAR ANCESTOR FIGURES, CENDERAWASIH BAY, 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve Indonesia, West Papua New Guinea. Each boldly carved and depicted in a crouching posture on an oval pedestal, with disproportionately large heads marked by schematically rendered facial features. One figure has an emptied cranium, which it holds in place with two sticks grasped in its hands. The other, slightly more upright, rests its hands on two shafts that appear to be interwoven, each terminating in smaller heads with highly abstracted features. (2) Provenance: Professor Gert Chesi, acquired circa 1990-2015 for the Museum der V?lker (formerly Haus der V?lker, Museum für Kunst und Ethnographie), Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, and subsequently de-accessed. Gert Chesi (b. 1940) is an Austrian photographer, author, and art collector. In 1995, Chesi founded the Museum der V?lker (formerly Haus der V?lker, Museum für Kunst und Ethnographie), Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, a museum of art and ethnography whose collection consists mainly of objects acquired during Chesi’s travels through Africa and Asia, most of which were assembled in the 1990s and early 2000s. He also authored several books on African voodoo and magic rituals, including ‘Voodoo. Afrikas geheime Macht’ (1987) and ‘Die letzten Afrikaner’ (1977). Condition: Good condition with expected wear, signs of weathering, age cracks, minor losses, flaking to pigments, one figure with an old repair to one arm. The wood exhibiting a rich, naturally grown patina. Weight: 6.9 kg (total) Dimensions: Height 40.5 and 41.8 cm Created in the Cenderawasih Bay region of northwestern New Guinea, korwar figures represented individuals who had recently died. Each functioned as a supernatural vessel into which the spirit of the deceased ancestor could be invoked for consultation or the presentation of offerings. Korwar imagery is highly conventionalized , depicting the ancestor in a seated or standing posture with a robust head and an arrow-shaped nose, hallmarks of the style. Although the sex of the figures is often difficult to determine, each originally represented a male or female individual, corresponding to the gender of the deceased. Normally kept within the house of the family of the commemorated person, korwar were also carried on dangerous sea voyages to ensure a successful outcome. Cenderawasih canoes often incorporated korwar heads in prow and stern ornaments, while miniature korwar were carried as protective amulets. The pervasive presence of these ancestral images served to protect the living and emphasized the importance of ancestors in all aspects of daily life.
