Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Java, Majapahit Empire, ca. 1293 to 1527 CE. A hand-built pottery head of a highly stylized form and covered in red-brown pigment. The face bears a pair of almond-shaped eyes with delineated pupils, a prominent nose, full lips, and fleshy cheeks. The front of each tall ear is framed by the backward-curving bangs flanking the temples, and the brow is centered with a large, honeycombed emblem. Beneath the head is a slender neck tang that perhaps attached to a larger figure at one time. Size: 3.3" W x 4.7" H (8.4 cm x 11.9 cm); 5.9" H (15 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: ex-private collection of actor Anthony Quinn and his wife Katherine, Bristol, Rhode Island, USA acquired prior to 2000
