20th C. Indonesian Wood Ceremonial Altar Nude Females

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, North Sumatra, Batak culture, mid-20th century CE. An elaborate hand-carved ceremonial altar or ritualistic carving supported by squatting figures with coiffures made from coarse boar hairs wrapped in cloth and cords. The 4 figures are nude, alternating between male and female, they crouch on an integral circular plinth with their arms upraised to grasp the base of the pedestal that supports a removable domed lid that fits into a central socket, and atop this is a mythical singa beast and a human rider. This "lid" can be taken off to reveal a flat surface with the socket cavity - perhaps an area to prepare ritualistic offerings or medicine. Size: 11.5" Diameter x 26" H (29.2 cm x 66 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Bishop Family Trust collection, the Trust of the late Bill Bishop, a noted antiquarian with shops in Scottsdale, Arizona and Allenspark, Colorado, USA, acquired before 2010
