SAKALAVA of the south, Madagascar. Eroded... - Lot 177 - Pousse-Cornet
SAKALAVA of the south, Madagascar. Eroded monoxyle carved wood, beautiful material of the wood ravined by the bad weather. Sculpture representing a large character riding his mount, rare evocation of a rider. The character with a hieratic pose, the long arms placed along the slender body, the head with a curly hairstyle, the triangular face with features blurred by time, only the hollowed out eyes remain, the powerful gaze seems to probe the infinite. Beautiful sensitivity and presence of this masterful funerary work symbolizing the passage into the other world. Top : 173 cm Cracks and wear. Provenance : Joseph Christiaens Collection, Bruges, Belgium.
