A MAGNIFICENT AND VERY LARGE TERRACOTTA FIGURE OF A STANDING BEAUTY, MAJAPAHIT PERIOD
滿者伯夷朝大型仕女陶像
Sold for €2,600
including Buyer's Premium
Java, 14th-16th. The lady modeled standing with her right arm wrapped around the waist, dressed in a long robe, with bare feet, adorned with a floral necklace, bangles, and circular earrings, the face with almond shaped eyes, subtle smile and high coiffure, a hair arrangement typical of the period.
Provenance: From the private collection of a diplomat in England, and thence by descent to the last owner.
Condition: Some old wear, soil encrustations and signs of weathering. Minor nicks, cracks, losses, obvious repairs, overall commensurate with age and exactly as expected of a 14th-century terracotta statue from this region.
Dimensions: Height 74.7 cm
Ornamental roof statues such as the present lot often decorated houses in the capital of the East Javanese kingdom of Majapahit near the present-day village of Trowulan. Sculptures, molded in clay and sun dried or baked at low temperatures, enhanced and protected the main columns of these open, pavilion-like buildings. Dressed in an orthodox Majapahit fashion with a hair arrangement typical of the period, the standing woman gazes outward in a pensive manner. Figures such as this often illustrated popular legends of the period, and it is possible that she was part of a larger narrative series.
Literature comparison:
Compare with a closely related statue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, gift of Marie-Hélène and Guy Weill, in memory of William Wolff, 1992, accession number 1992.151.

滿者伯夷朝大型仕女陶像
爪哇，十四至十六世紀。仕女右臂環腰站立，身著長袍，赤足，佩戴花卉項鍊、手鐲、圓形耳環，面含微笑，高髻，一頭秀發，這是該時期的典型。
來源：英國一位外交官的私人收藏，一直保存至最後一位藏家。
品相：一些磨損、土壤結殼和風化跡象，輕微的劃痕、裂縫、缺損、小修補。
尺寸：高 74.7 厘米
在東爪哇滿者伯夷王朝首都，現在的特羅烏蘭村附近，陶像經常用來裝飾房屋。用粘土模製並在低溫下曬乾或烘烤的造像增強並保護了這些開放式亭閣式建築的主要柱子。站著的婦人身著滿者伯夷服，留著那個時代的髮型，向外凝視若有所思。像這樣的人物經常描繪那個時期的流行傳說，她可能是某一個故事中的人物。
文獻比較：
比較一件非常相近的陶像，收藏於紐約大都會藝術博物館，來自Marie-Hélène和Guy Weill的禮物，以紀念William Wolff，1992年，館藏編號1992.151。
