- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Philippines, Ifugao province, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A solid, hand-carved wooden bowl supported by four andromorphic figures. The figures are both men and women standing upon an integral pedestal with the base of the shallow bowl resting on their heads. This may have been a ritualistic vessel for sipping rice wine or presenting offerings. These ceremonial bowls were polished with animal fat and developed dark patinas from smoke as they were often kept near a hearth, as we see in this fine example! Size: 4.375" W x 11.1" H (11.1 cm x 28.2 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-collection of Dr. Edward A. Spiegel (1931-2020) professor of astronomy at New York University and Columbia University who worked on convection theory and on the application of fluid dynamics to astrophysics and was the first to discover Chaos Theory. As a professor, students enjoyed his accounts of his meetings with other famous scientists such as Paul Dirac and Stephen Hawking.
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
