RARITIES THE HIMALAYAS TO HAWAII

Follow Your Bliss If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn’t have taiwan

03 Deer mask Tibet or Bhutan, India Wood, pigment; 19th/early 20th century Ex collections Pace Gallery, New York; Victor Teicher, New York 24 in / 61 cm This wrathful manifestation of the deer spirit was used in morality dramas of Cham dances found throughout the Himalayas.Â The deer is a potent animal totem, the magic of which predates Buddhism in the Himalayas. It morphs from simple and innocent to powerful and dangerous, depending on the purity of a hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul.

04 Guardian figure, bahan Khas people, Bajura district, Nepal Wood, glass eyes; 19th century or earlier Ex private French collection Published: Cortes, Jean-Luc, La Statuaire Primitive de L’Ouest du Népal, 2011, plate 1 26 in / 66 cm These figures served as village and household guardians in the far west of Nepal. Commonly mislabeled “spring figures,” they arise from a different cultural impulse than that of the “primitive” black-patinated masking tradition found more to the east, often developing a thick smoked interior patina or a heavily eroded surface from exterior exposure. They can be squatting or standing, but always have the arms up, hands together, as in prayer. This is a superb example, an archetypal expression of this unique art form.

05 Ritual dagger with ancestor figure Dongson culture, Vietnam Bronze; 500 bce – 200 ce Ex collection Tuyet Nguyet, Hong Kong, publisher of Arts of Asia magazine 10.5 in / 26.5 cm Dongson was the title given to a BronzeIron Age culture named after the north Vietnamese village of Dong Son that was the first archeological find site in 1924. It is thought that the people were proto-Cham, with likely both Li-Tai and Austronesian language affinities. Daggers of this type, sometimes described as short swords, probably served ceremonial purposes, including the sacrificing of animals. They offer great insights into costumes and jewelry of the era, including large earrings and hip-wrap sarongs that greatly resemble tribal Southeast Asian clothing up to recent times. It has been theorized that the classic Indonesian and Malay ceremonial dagger, keris, descended from Dongson blades of this type.

nias 09 Ancestor queen, adu zatua or siraha salawa Nias Wood; 19th/early 20th century Ex collectionÂ Pierre and Claude VĂŠrite, France 11.5 in / 29.21 cm A fine and rare ancestor figure with great provenance, recognizably a female aristocrat because of the dual earrings and the tall crown that would have been gold in life. The style of this headdress and the fact she is holding a cup in both hands are considered to be northern Nias conventions, and therefore siraha salawa would be an applicable title. Offerings needed to be made on a regular basis to ensure the goodwill of the deceased.Â
