Description

Timor (?), Indonesia
Wood; height 40cm, width 15cm, thickness 20cm
This architectural post features a flat-faced carving of an anthropomorphic figure. It has an oval face and its eyes and nose are shallowly carved. Its teeth are visible through its gaping mouth. Its neck is deeply-carved to indicate a separation of its face and its body. There is a semi-circular carving at the bottom of this piece possibly indicating the place of attachment to a larger architecture. This piece is noteworthy for its primeval aesthetics.
