- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, South Sulawesi Island, Toraja culture, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A finely-built square granary door, hand-carved from dense jackfruit wood, with an abstract buffalo head, horns, and one ear in high relief; the other ear is present but worn. One side features two small dowels protruding from the top and bottom of one side used to secure the pivoting end in a recessed groove on the verso. The weathered surface has a lovely marbled appearance to it, with sections of dark-brown interwoven with pale-beige hues on the front side, and the back is semi-smooth with lustrous chocolate-brown hues gracing the surfaces. Size: 17" W x 21.5" H (43.2 cm x 54.6 cm).
Condition: Expected age-commensurate surface wear and abrasions, some cracking and chips to interior surfaces and peripheries, with some discoloration due to weathering and light water damage, otherwise excellent. Light earthen and mineral deposits throughout.
Provenance: private Johnson collection, Marina Del Rey, California, USA
