Item Details

Description

Asmat Shield, Papua New Guinea. Wood, Kaolin, Pigment. This shield features abstract geometric carvings painted white on the face, set against a tawny surface. It includes a handle on its back side. Measures approximately 61" x 11". Deficient on the left side, but otherwise in good condition for its age and use. This item originates from the estate of John A. Williams, a distinguished philanthropist and renowned collector. Mr. Williams and his partner Dewitt Hart were influential members of San Francisco's art society and were celebrated for their discerning taste in modern, ethnographic, and fine art. Over the years, they hosted numerous exhibitions in their home, showcasing their prestigious collection to appreciative audiences. All proceeds of items from this estate benefit the Hart Williams Rainbow Fund, a nonprofit working with the LGBTQIA+ community in the San Francisco Bay Area.
