Two wind vanes, late 20th century, comprising: an Indonesian example, wood, bamboo, coloured tinplate, wire, approx. 43cm high, 54cm wide; and Rock Singer, painted wood, plastic card, spring, safety pin, nylon thread, approx. 55.5cm high; together with: a cowhide and wood rotating drum, 41.5cm high; a Whirlybird flying propeller toy, other propeller toys; and Peasant Dance, Madeira Portugal, bamboo, wood, wire, wool and cotton textiles, raffia, tape, bottle tops, approx. 51cm high (lot) Sir Nicholas Goodison noted: As the wind rotates the vane the three loosely jointed clappers on the shaft strike the bamboo notes. The stronger the wind the faster the notes. The shaft also drives the peasant to raise and lower his arm so that the cow too raises its head as the peasant pulls it. The vane would normally be mounted on a rod or peg on a building – the upright shaft is hollow bamboo – and the vane would turn to reflect the direction of the wind. It wouldn’t last long in a tornado. The peasant appears to be sowing or tilling and the weather is clearly hot. Rock singer: Pulling down on the yellow card raises the playing arm and tilts the guitar. Any rhythm can be played, from short regular strums to grand sweeps in which the guitar moves more dramatically. Pulling the yellow card also creates the music as the blue disc, from which the separate threads lead to arm and guitar, strikes the four hanging metal strips which are tuned to four different notes. This hanging toy is akin to jumping jacks. The singer is stylish, fit for Glastonbury or Hyde Park, with his dark glasses and safety pin ear-ring. We will never know what sort of voice he has but we are probably better off not knowing and the lack of a microphone is a blessing. Peasant Dance: There are five peasants, each with percussion instruments. At the top a male peasant clashes Brisa bottle-top cymbals. Below him two male and two female peasants with castanets on their backs jump up and down, activating the castanets, as the handle at the bottom raises and lowers the striped bamboo sleeve and its platform on which they stand. Beneath the platform are four pairs of Brisa bottle tops which clash together if the movement is vigorous enough. It all makes a rhythmic party noise. Brisa is a Madeiran brand of soft drinks produced by Empresa da Cervejas da Madeira.Provenance:Indonesian wind vane: Purchased, Idonia van der Bijl, 25a Museum Street, London, January 1994.Rock Singer: Purchased, Ducks Toy Shop, Marlborough, Wiltshire, March 1995.Peasant Dance: Purchased, Kristin Baybars, London, May 1996.Roseberys do not guarantee the working order of any automata or toy.

COSTUME DE DANSE RITUELLE CHITIPATI AVEC MASQUE EN PAPIER-MÂCHÉ, ROBE ET BOTTES EN SOIE PEINTE ET BRODÉEMONGOLIE, XIXE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205065 Mask: 59 cm (23 1/4 in.) high; robe: 163 x 135 cm (64 1/8 x 53 1/8 in.); boots: 36.4 cm (14 3/8 in.) high.Footnotes:A CHITIPATI RITUAL DANCE COSTUME WITH PAPIER-MÂCHÉ MASK AND PAINTED SILK AND SILK EMBROIDERED GARMENTS AND BOOTS MONGOLIA, 19TH CENTURY 蒙古 十九世紀 彩繪緞繡屍陀林主舞服及靴子配彩繪紙塑面具 Costumes such as these were used during ritual Cham dances, a practice involving narrative reenactments meant to both story tell and invoke deities. Initially originating in Tibet, Cham became a practice that covered large areas of the Himalayas. Held during ceremonial festivities at local monasteries, monks wearing these costumes were understood to be invoking the spirit of the costume they adorned. Cham costumes were elaborate and consist of large papier-mâché masks, fine silk with appliqué and embroidery, and decorative footwear. Coupled with sounds of gyaling, cymbals and drums these coordinated dances displayed a dramatic and spirited portrayal of ritual deity invocation. Wearing the chitipati costume would have served to supplicate the protective energies associated with these skeletal beings and provoked reminders of the impermanence of all things. Considered embodiments of the deity themselves, each element of the costume is thoughtfully designed. The five pointed crown of skeletons and parasol finial surmounting the terrifying gaze and wide gaping mouth of the face is deliberately fearsome. The embroidered silks decorated with severed heads and skulls at the top and a rocky terrain on the hem below with a ritual apron around the waist are layered to exhibit fluttering while in motion. Compare a similar papier- mâché mask with parasol finial illustrated on HAR 53077 and another wrathful deity costume on HAR 53074, both which are from Mongolia. Published:Michael Henss, Buddhist Ritual Art of Tibet: A Handbook on Ceremonial Objects and Ritual Furnishings in the Tibetan Temple, Stuttgart, 2020, p.427, no. 588.

A RARE CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL 'DA JI' DOUBLE GOURD VASEQianlongElegantly modelled with a large globular lower bulb with four stepped cartouches containing the characters Ji, supporting a slightly smaller upper bulb with a further four stepped cartouches containing the characters da, rising to a waisted neck with a narrow mouth, entirely decorated around the body in vibrant tones of yellow, blue, red and white enamel with geometric diamond-patterns, the foot and central waist with bands of floral scrolls, the mouth with pendant plantain leaves. 28.7cm (11 1/4in) high. Footnotes:清乾隆 銅胎掐絲琺瑯「大吉」葫蘆瓶Provenance: Roger Keverne Ltd., LondonPublished, Illustrated and Exhibited: R.Keverne, Summer Exhibition, 2010, London, p.94, no.69.來源:倫敦古董商Roger Keverne Ltd.展覽著錄:R.Keverne著,《夏季展覽》,倫敦,2010年,頁94,編號69See an identical cloisonné enamel double gourd vase, Qianlong, likely the pair to the present lot, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, illustrated by B, Quette, Cloisonné: Chinese Enamels from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, New York and Paris, p.274, no.99, where the author notes that the geometric pattern is rare on cloisonné enamel but more often found on piecework textiles 'intended for use in Tibetan Buddhist rituals, notably to cover cymbals or for placement under ritual objects'. The pattern derives from Ming dynasty textiles; see He Li and M.Knight, Power and Glory: Court Arts of China's Ming Dynasty, San Francisco, 2016, no.44.The characters Da Ji express the wish for good fortune and are frequently used to decorate vessels of double-gourd shape. The bottle gourd itself is associated with the Eight Daoist Immortals, particularly with Li Tieguai who used the gourd as a container for medicine. Daoist fairies are also often depicted with double gourds from which fly five red bats – representing the Five Blessings. Double gourds are also symbolic of prosperity and abundance, and in particular, an abundance of male children, which is further reinforced by the characters, da ji, meaning 'highly auspicious', in enamel. As a specific rebus, because they are born from leafy tendrils, the phrase for bottle gourds on a vine is huluman, while the combination of vines with tendrils reads as mandai: these two phrases together suggest the rebus hulu wandai 'May you have numerous descendants'.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
