Naomi’s Loves: International Beads, Asian Antiquities & Tribal Treasures Michaan’s presents the collection of Ms. Naomi Lindstrom
N
aomi Lindstrom (1924-2014) was a collector of the purest sense. A longtime flight attendant for Pan Am, she traveled the world rubbing elbows with sheiks and presidents, all the while collecting what she loved along the way. Her fifty years of collecting became a personal journal of sorts, a testament to a life of adventure, intellect and visual curiosity. Michaan’s Auctions is proud to present these objects on March 7, 2016, chronicling the love and life of Ms. Naomi Lindstrom, expressed in treasures found from around the globe. What has been described as the most significant collection of world beads in the United States, international and ancient pieces from Naomi’s prized bead accumulation will be offered in over 290 lots. Beads composing necklaces and other curiosities are from over fifty noted origins, spanning a dizzying world list ranging America to Africa, Germany to Java and Mexico to Morocco to name a few. Virtually all are of her design, while remaining true to cultural heritage. Naomi’s bead collection counts amongst it some of the best quality Tibetan corals available and some with quite an interesting background story as well. Naomi had spent six months working with the Lowell Thomas Foundation side by side with the Dali Lama’s brother and sister to aid Tibetan refugees streaming into India escaping the uprising. During this time, numerous Tibetans sold their corals to raise funds to survive in their new environment. Naomi, compassionate to the plight of the refugees, bought many of their coral beads and also helped to facilitate additional buyers for them. Highlighting this category of her collection is a two-strand necklace of excellent antique red coral beads with an ornate gilded pendant centering a large red coral cabochon at an estimate of $20,000-30,000 (lot 4364). Naomi’s Asian art collection was acquired with great care, very slowly and deliberately, and it showed. Both collectors and institutions noted the excellence of her collection, with the Asian Art Museum showcasing her pieces when they needed to impress high-end donors. Among the Asian works of art at sale is a specialty auction collection of figural sandstone pieces, reflecting the caliber of Naomi’s Asian carvings. Highlighting this grouping is a Khmer Angkor Wat style female deity of the 12th century at an estimate of $15,000-20,000 (lot 4094). Over 80 lots of world tribal and ethnographic objects including numerous pre-Columbian pieces hold an offering of interest in an early 20th century Toraja carved wood male Tau Tau figure at an estimate of $20,00030,000 (lot 4171, pictured right). The expression upon the male’s face is one of bewilderment, conveyed by wide bone set eyes with dilated wood pupils and a slight mouth. A swiveling stand mounts the figure upon each leg around the area where the knees would reside, allowing for optimal appreciation of the object. The Toraja, an ethnic group from the mountainous region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, had remained relatively untouched by the outside world until the 1970s when the area became a hotbed of tourism in Indonesia, peaking in the 1990s. Offered artworks from Naomi’s personal collection are to be presented in 31 lots. Just as her travels had amassed a variety of beads from around the globe, an international presence is evidenced in artists of American, Australian, French and Mexican heritage. The largest representation in the sale is found in pieces by Hawaiian John Chin Young in 17 lots. Highlighting this group is the abstract oil on canvas “Homage of Wang Wei” at an estimate of $2,500-3,500 (lot 4242). Joining the Young works at auction will be artists Jose Luis Cuevas, Oscar Edwards, Norman Ives, John Koenig, Fernand Leger, Georges Rouault, Madge Tennent, Charles W. Bartlett, Jean Charlot and Nathan Oliveira. Naomi Lindstrom, circa 1950

Worldwide Beads About the Collection
N
aomi began collecting beads in the late 1940’s when she worked for United Airlines. Her reasons were purely pragmatic at the time: her spending money consisted of the $10 per diem she got from the airline, and beads were small, affordable, and easy to transport in a pocket or purse. Here’s how it happened. Naomi’s innate curiosity about cultures lead her to an interest in Archaeology. Her interest in Archaeology lead her to begin frequenting dig sites whenever time and opportunity allowed. Once on site, she always befriended the diggers, the mostly local labor force hired to sift through the dirt and detritus in search of antiquities. At the time there was very little interest in beads in the archaeological world, so when Naomi asked the diggers what they had that they could sell, they quickly proffered pockets full of ancient beads, tiny treasures relegated to the back-burner by the world of academia. Naomi instantly fell in love, and that was the end of her per diem. (Her magnetic personality and Hollywood starlet looks guaranteed that she never went hungry because she spent her food money on beads!)
Acknowledgement We would like to extend a special thank you to Jamey D. Allen, Mr. Allen’s bead and artifact expertise, historical knowledge and friendship with Ms. Lindstrom aided in shaping this excellent auction catalog. Jamey D. Allen is a life-long artist, who has specialized in beads and beadwork since 1967. He has been a Bead Historian since 1974, and was on the Founding Committee of The Bead Society of Northern California (1977); and was the Co-Founder of the Society of Bead Researchers (1981)--now an international organization. He is an internationally-recognized authority, having composed three books and countless articles, and having produced many public lectures on various aspects of bead collecting and history. He was the Curator for The Bead Museum in Arizona from 1999 until 2011.
Before long Naomi was being invited to digs by the various Archaeologists she met on her travels, and her bead collection expanded its roots, for a good many years paid for with her $10 per diem. Soon she was seeking out bead dealers along her international flight routes, and paying whatever she could beyond her per diem. She bought as many beads as she could in those early years, quickly gobbling knowledge about the cultures that made these understudied dabs of art, how those cultures used the beads, and what their spiritual significance was. She discovered that beads have a rich protective value, used by many cultures to ward off evil spirits. Naomi’s primary interest has always been the history of mankind, so when she learned that beads are also the earliest form of human art, and the earliest evidence for abstract thinking and the use of symbolism, her curiosity grew exponentially. She loved to point out that beads were mankind’s first adornment, worn even before clothing became a daily necessity. “Even before clothing!” she’d stress. When talking to Naomi about beads it was impossible to come away unaffected. Over the years Naomi’s insatiable intellectual curiosity lead her to become quite an expert on these multi-faceted ancient treasures. She began creating necklaces, which she designed bead-by-bead on fishing line and then had professionally strung by local artist Jamey D. Allen. She always stayed true to the cultural integrity and context of the country of origin of the beads she chose, and to the era from which the beads were born. She also began lecturing, invited to speak on the history of beads by various museums and bead societies around the world, including the Bead Society of Great Britain in 1999. Over her 50 years of traveling, Naomi Lindstrom’s collection became one of the most comprehensive and noteworthy private collections of ancient beads in the country, spanning more than 5,000 years of bead history, and covering almost every continent. The fact that the treasures gathered during her lifetime of collecting are now available for sale truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for bead collectors everywhere.

Estimate: $20,000 / 30,000 Naomi has some of the best quality ancient Tibetan coral available, and the story of its acquisition is no less unique than the woman herself. Turn the clock back to March of 1959, the outset of the Tibetan uprising. The Dalai Lama was forced to flee Tibet, crossing into India with the help of the CIA’s Special Activities Division. At about the same time, Naomi was the flight attendant assigned to first class on a flight carrying Lowell Thomas, the famed journalist and filmmaker, to India. Thomas was the first person to film the Dalai Lama in Tibet, and was instrumental in efforts to aid the Dali Lama and his retinue as they fled their native land. During the flight Naomi entertained Mr.Thomas by describing her adventures shopping for antiquities around the globe. She laughingly boasted that she could get the best price for anything, and talked of her ability to shop in the most seemingly inaccessible places. Thomas, impressed by her joie de vivre, resourcefulness, and infectious laugh, began questioning her further. By the end of the flight he was convinced he’d found a treasure. The following morning he called the president of Pan American Airways, Juan Tripp, a personal friend, and asked for Naomi’s services for the next six months. It seems the Lowell Thomas Foundation was busily building housing for the thousands of Tibetan refugees streaming into India to escape the uprising. Mr.Thomas needed someone who could negotiate the best prices for building supplies, and then arrange their delivery to his building sites in Daramsala. Guess whom he chose? Mr.Tripp said he would pay Naomi’s salary for six months and allow her to use the time working for Mr.Thomas’s foundation in India. Naomi was flown to Daramsala almost immediately. She spent the next six months working side by side with the Dali Lama’s brother and sister, bartering for and procuring building supplies to house the fleeing Tibetans. As she encountered the refugees and spoke to them of their plight, she fell in love with the people and their culture of pacifism and gentleness. At the time, many of the Tibetans were selling their coral, needing money to survive in their new surroundings. They asked Naomi if she could help. Coral was extremely important to the Tibetans, used for both personal adornment and as a way to store wealth. But their love of this deep red substance went deeper than that. To the Tibetans coral represented life. It’s traditional in Tibetan families to give each daughter a strand of good coral when she leaves home. It represents family, heritage, and a prosperous life to come. The Tibetans were leaving their native country with their coral in tow, most often worn as jewelry. Naomi, feeling sorry for the refugees and wanting to help them in their plight to survive, bought many coral beads herself, and helped facilitate the sale of coral to buyers elsewhere. Uncharacteristically, she always paid full price, and insisted that the buyers she found did the same. It was probably the only time in her life that she did this!
Lot 4364
By the end of her six months in Tibet she had spent her $10 per diem and a good portion of her salary on good coral beads. It was a win-win situation for everyone, and Naomi died with some of the most beautiful coral jewelry available, much of it made from the beads she collected during her time with the refugees. Note: Additional coral items to follow in lots 4487-4510.

The Purchase of and Payment for Property The sale of a lot shall be to the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer, in accord with these Conditions of Sale. Title to the lot shall pass with the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Buyer shall pay the Purchase price, as defined above, and such other fees as may be due, in full, within seven (7) days of the auction sale.

76
made (i) in cash, (ii) by wire transfer (additional $25 fee), (iii) by money order or other guaranteed funds, or (iv) by personal check (when buyer’s credit is approved). No lot shall be transferred by Buyer to another person until the sale is final. In the event of partial payment for any lot or lots we shall apply payments, in our discretion, to the lot or lots we select. The Buyer grants MA a security interest in the purchased Property, and we may retain as collateral any property purchased and any funds in our possession, to secure a Buyer’s obligations to us, if any. We retain the rights of a secured party under the California Commercial Code. All fees, taxes, premiums or other sums due and not paid pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at 1.5 % per month from the 8th day following the sale to the date paid in full. b. Collection of Property Upon transfer of title, Buyer assumes full responsibility, including risk of loss and damage, for the Property. Purchased property shall be removed at Buyer’s expense within fifteen (15) days after the sale becomes final. Property not removed shall be subject to a service fee of $50, and a storage fee, if retained by MA, of 1% of the purchase price per month. MA may also, in its sole discretion, elect to place the Property in a public storage facility at the Buyer’s sole risk, responsibility and expense. c. Liability for delivery of property If, for any reason whatsoever, we are unable to deliver the purchased Property to the Buyer, MA shall be liable to the Buyer only for the Purchase price paid by the Buyer and in no event shall we be liable for incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, business interruption or loss of profit. THE AUCTION PROCEDURE a. Registration Bidders must register in advance to bid at auction. (a) If by mail or on the Internet please comply with, sign and send back the requisite form or absentee bid. (b) To telephone bid, Bidders must complete, sign and fax a copy of the Telephone Bid Registration Form, which is available only by calling MA. Telephone lines are limited, and available on a firstcome, first-serve basis. Registration to bid by telephone must be completed by 5 p.m. the day prior to the auction. (c) When intending to bid in person, pre register at the desk and obtain a bidding paddle. The auctioneer may refuse to recognize any person not registered and not having a paddle number. MA reserves the right at its sole discretion, to refuse anyone the right to register and participate at an auction. b. Announcements We may, at the commencement of, or during the Auction, announce changes in or modifications to the Conditions of Sale or descriptions of Property. c. Absentee Bids For a Buyer’s convenience, absentee bids will be accepted, when properly executed and submitted in a timely manner. However, we neither accept any responsibility to an absentee bidder, nor any liability whatsoever for a failure to execute the absentee bid for any reason. In the event that identical multiple absentee bids are the highest bids received for the same lot then the earliest received of the competing absentee bids shall prevail at that bid amount. d. Auctioneer’s Discretion The Auctioneer has the absolute discretion to 1)
pass a lot or withdraw it from sale at any time prior to its actual sale; 2) refuse to recognize any bidder; 3) refuse to recognize any bid; 4) resolve any dispute between bidders or resolve any doubtful bid by deciding who is the successful bidder or nullifying the auction of the lot and reoffering it for sale. The Auctioneer’s decision is binding as to disputes arising at auction. If a dispute arises post sale, our records of the sale shall be conclusive. Both the Auctioneer and MA shall be without any liability whatsoever resulting from the exercise of the discretion referred to herein. e. Reserves All Property is offered for sale subject to a Reserve unless otherwise stated by us at time of sale. MA may protect the Reserve by an initial bid or continued bidding on behalf of the consignor. Any bids by MA staff after the Reserve is met shall be made only on behalf or registered bidders. Neither the consignor nor an agent or representative of the consignor is allowed to bid on their own property. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES Except for warranty of title, neither we nor the Consignor make any warranties, guarantees or representation, express or implied, with respect to the Property, including, but not necessarily limited to, any implied warranty of “fitness for purpose” or “merchantability.” Any and all statements and descriptions in any catalogue or elsewhere by MA, relating to age, attribution, authenticity, size, genuineness, provenance, historical relevance or significance, physical condition, importance, quality, quantity, rarity, period, culture, source or origin, are presented as statements of qualified opinion only. MA’s disclaimer of liability covers information contained in catalogues, and all other printed material published by us, including condition reports. Buyers assume the responsibility to inspect the Property and make their own decision as to the nature, quality and value of the Property. Neither MA nor the Consignor make any warranty or representation with regard to the existence of or the transfer of intellectual property rights, except and to such extent as may, from time to time, be explicitly stated. No employee of MA is authorized to nor shall make any warranty or representation on MA’s behalf, except as stated in the catalog or in any written addendum. ESTIMATES OF VALUE All estimates of value as published in our Catalogues or elsewhere are statements of qualified opinion as to the range of the price a willing buyer might pay for the Property at auction. The actual price paid at auction or subsequently, may vary substantially from the estimates. MA shall not be liable for any such differential. BUYER’S DEFAULT If a Buyer fails to pay for purchased Property, or otherwise does not comply with these Conditions of Sale, the Buyer shall be in default. In addition to all remedies available in law, to MA and to the Consignor, the Buyer shall be liable for the entire Purchase price. Additionally, at our option, we may either cancel the sale and retain all payments made by Buyer as well as retain any and all Property of Buyer in our possession as security against payment of the sums in default, or we may re-offer the
Property for sale, at auction or privately, without reserve. Buyer shall be liable to us and the Consignor for the additional fees, commissions and costs on both sales (including handling, storage and court costs and attorney’s fees) resulting from the cancellation or resale of the Property and in the event of resale, any deficiency which may result. RESCISSION The sole and exclusive remedy, available only to the original buyer, is the limited right of rescission set forth herein. MA will cancel the sale of Property if the original buyer establishes to our satisfaction that there has been a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title, or that the identification of Authorship* of the Property as set forth in Bold Type Heading is not substantially correct, based on a fair reading of the Catalogue (as may be amended by posted or announced changes.) IN ALL INSTANCES, YOU MUST GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, SETTING FORTH THE BASIS FOR YOUR CLAIM AND, AT YOUR SOLE EXPENSE AND RISK, RETURN THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION TO MA WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER NOTICE IS GIVEN AND IN THE SAME CONDITION AS WHEN SOLD. Upon review of the claim and the property, if we are satisfied with the bases for your claim and the property is in the same condition it was in when sold, MA will rescind the sale and return to you the Purchase price, unless we have already remitted funds to the Consignor. In that event, and at MA’s sole discretion, MA shall either pay you as provided above, or shall pay you only that portion of the Purchase price retained by us (the Seller’s commission, the buyer’s premium and any sales taxes collected) and on your behalf make demand on the Consignor for the balance and upon receipt of the funds remit same to you. Should the Consignor refuse to return the funds to you or to MA, we shall disclose the Consignor’s identity and assign to you any and all rights MA may have against the Consignor. Any and all liability MA may have as agent for the Consignor shall thereupon terminate. BUYER EXPRESSLY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT MA SHALL HAVE NO OTHER LIABILITY TO THE BUYER EXCEPT FOR THE RETURN OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AND THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL MA BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFIT OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. *Authorship refers to the maker or creator of the Property, and the period, social culture, and origin of the Property as stated in the Bold Type Heading for a given lot in our catalogue. It does not refer to the descriptions which may be contained in the information below the Bold Type Heading. MISCELLANEOUS a.

Severability: If, for any reason, any part of the Conditions of Sale is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion shall be valid and enforceable. c. Successors and Assigns: The Conditions of Sale shall be binding on all the heirs and assigns of the Buyers and bidders and inure to the benefit of MA’s successors and assigns.

MA shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for the loss, theft or damage to property, including, but not limited to selection of shipper, the acts or omissions of any shipper or the acts or omissions occurring in packing for shipment. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain a shipping quote for any lot being offered, from an outside shipper, prior to the auction date. Post sale determination of shipping costs does not constitute grounds for cancellation of any purchase made at auction. Purchasers are advised that large and fragile items can be expensive.

ASIAN ARTS DISCLAIMER: We are aware of the many types of treatments and/ or enhancements used today on jade. The purpose is to improve their appearance, i.e. color and/or clarity.

PROPERTY MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED OR PROTECTED SPECIES Property that contains any percentage of material made or potentially made from endangered and/or other protected species of wildlife are, as a courtesy, marked in the catalogue with the symbol “ * ”. Michaan’s Auctions does not accept any responsibility or liability for failing to mark such lots. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Prospective buyers are advised that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of proscribed materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the
77
countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential buyers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on property containing wildlife material. Regulations may vary as the U.S. prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old. It shall be the potential buyer’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. Prospective buyers must also note that the inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export property containing potentially regulated wildlife material will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said property or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with the Conditions of Sale. No Guarantee of Authenticity for Chinese Paintings Currently, scholarship in the field of Chinese paintings precludes the ability to provide unqualified statements or opinions as to Authorship or date of execution. The terms for RESCISSION in the Conditions of Sale, (as set out on our internet site and in our catalogues) does not apply to Chinese paintings. However, if within twenty (20) days of the sale of any such lot, the original purchaser provides Michaan’s with both written notice that the lot is a forgery, and within seven (7) days after written notice, said purchaser returns the lot to us in the same condition as when sold and demonstrates to our satisfaction that the lot is a forgery, Michaan’s will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price received to the original purchaser. “Forgery” for the purposes of this provision, is defined as a work created with the intent to deceive. Definitions of Authorship: This is to qualify the relationship between the object and the named person in the catalogue. The following conventions for attribution are used by Michaan’s Auctions: Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by the art-
ist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artists named. Attributed to Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category. Studio of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction. Circle of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified by distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil. Style of ......; follower of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or near contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil. Manner of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date. after Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist. The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist. The term bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand. “bearing signature...”/”bearing date...”/”bearing inscription...” In our opinion the signature/ date/inscription is by a hand other than that of the artist. Typical Headings: FURNITURE George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers Third Quarter 18th Century This heading, with date included, means that the piece is, in our opinion, of the period indicated with no major alterations or restorations.
George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers This heading, without the inclusion of the date, indicates that, in our opinion, the piece, while basically of the period, has undergone significant restoration and alteration. George III Style Mahogany Chest of Drawers The inclusion of the word “style” in the heading indicates that, in our opinion, the piece was made as an intentional reproduction of an earlier style. BRONZES Antoine-Louis Barye This heading indicates that the casting and patination were done by the artist or with his direct authorization or supervsion. Cast After a Model by Antoine-Louis Barye This heading indicates that the casting and patination of a known Barye model were done by another, i.e., artisans at the F. Barbedienne or other foundry. CERAMICS Meissen Porcelain Cup and Saucer Late 19th Century This states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century. Meissen Porcelain Cup and a Saucer Late 19th Century Again, this states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century, but it also indicates that the cup and saucer may not have been “born” together. Meissen Porcelain Cup and Saucer Circa 1900 This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date specified, not necessarily made at the Meissen factory. ‘Meissen’ Porcelain Cup and a Saucer 19th Century This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date specified, not necessarily made at the Meissen factory. Meissen Porcelain Cup and Saucer The title without a specific date simply states that the pieces were made at the Meissen factory but does not specify when, implying that their age is questionable.
