- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $4000**
East Asia, Taiwan, Paiwan culture, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A rare example of an ancestral house panel that is hand-carved from a single piece of wood. The rectangular slab features a band of incised star-form motifs along the top as well as a pair on the bottom that enclose a stylized figure, perhaps a warrior chief. The figures presents standing with bowed knees and blocky feet, holding one arm up while the other is hidden behind his back, and with a lengthy downward-facing snake to their left. The hand on the back holds the sheath of a traditional Paiwanese sword called a 'tjakit' while the handle is visible behind the right hip. The enlarged head features ovoid eyes with carved pupils, a broad nose above puffy lips, and vertical cicatrices across the brow. Size: 13.25" W x 39.5" H (33.7 cm x 100.3 cm)
